Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple - Narasingapuram

 

Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple - Narasingapuram

This great temple of Sri Narasimhar is located about 55 Kms from Chennai in a place named "Perambakkam"

             The Moolavar of this temple is Sri Lakshmi Narasimhar along with Thayar Sri Maragathavalli (Lakshmi) on his lap. He is found in Veetrirandha (Sitting) position and also ‘Shantha Swaroopi’. The posture of Sri Maragathavalli  (Lakshmi), who is seen facing the devotees in most typical Narasimhar temples, but here in this temple Thaayar is seen pacifying and cooling the angry Lord(Ugraha Moorthy) and hence her face is turned towards the Lord Narasimhar. So here Narasimhar known as ‘Shaantha Swaroopi’ . The Perumal is huge and gigantic - and he is about 7 feet in height and Thaayar is about 5 feet in height. Both thaayar and Perumal are beautiful. This Narasingapuram is said to be a great sthalam for all the prarthanais and the Perumal is said to be "Varapprasadhi" (gives us boon) 

                       In this temple Sri Mahalakshmi Thaayar and Lord Narasimha are seen embracing each other, referred to as ’Paraspara Alinganam’, unlike in other Narasimha Kshetram where it is just the Thaayar in the alinganam posture so the Narasimhar is also called with the Thiru Naamam "Sri Kalyana Lakshmi Narasimhar" (as the Perumal performs "Aalinganam" - holding Sri Lakshmi towards Him very closely).

             Garudalwar is about 4 feet height and 16 Naagams (snakes) are found in his body as the ornaments. Hence this is said to be a place for liberation from Naga Dosham.  Anjaneyar Sannidhi  Opposite the Lakshmi Narasimha temple is the west facing Anjaneya Sannidhi. The speciality of this Anjaneyar is his tail is twirled back on to his head.

            This Temple is 1400 years old dating back to the early Pallava Period. Several Inscriptions dating back to the 11th and 12th Century to the rule of Kulottunga I. It is a Prarthana Sthalam for liberation from Naga Dosham, bad debts and all kinds of illness / diseases. Inscriptions in Tamil speak of consecration of a shrine, gift of lamps, oil, offerings etc. by the king. Another Tamil inscription gives credit to Vikrama Chola Deva for the sale of a land to the temple. The original idol of the Utsava moorthy of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha is at least 1400 years old, dating back to the early Pallava period (6th – 8th Century A.D).
