Sri Vadirajaru includes Bidarahalli in the Paschima Prabandha and praises the sacred place and/or its presiding deity, Ashwatthanarayana; Narasimha; Venugopala. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.
Sthala Purana: Bidarahalli / Pippalagriha preserves an established sacred tradition centred on Ashwatthanarayana; Narasimha; Venugopala. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
Places to See in the Kshetra: sacred Ashwattha, Narasimha shrine, Venugopala shrine, Tungabhadra bank.
