The history of Arulmigu Sri Narasimhaswamy Temple dates back to the 8th century CE, during the reign of the Pallava dynasty. The temple is believed to have been further developed by the Chola and Vijayanagara empires. Legend says that Lord Narasimha self-manifested in the rock. The massive idol of Lord Hanuman, directly opposite Lord Narasimha, is another significant aspect of the temple's history. It's believed that Hanuman grew to immense size while carrying the Sanjeevani mountain, and his devotion is eternally fixed on Lord Narasimha. Over the centuries, the temple has been renovated and expanded, preserving its rich heritage and spiritual legacy.
