Yoga Narasimha

Yoga Narasimha crowns Melkote’s hill — yogapaṭṭa binding the knees, śālagrāma marks revealed in abhisheka.

Ramanuja’s Abhimana Sthalam: the Acharya found refuge here, and the Lord’s daṇḍa still heals affliction.

Three hundred sixty-five steps rise like a year’s offering toward the hilltop shrine.

Tipu’s drum, Mysore’s bell, Wodeyar’s crown — royal seva still ornaments this quiet Yoga form.
