Varaha Narasimha Swamy

Here Varāha and Narasimha meet in one rare form — cool, earthy restraint held with the Ugra heat of the man-lion: a living balance of opposite forces.

Nearly 470 kg of sandalwood paste is lovingly applied over the deity, cooling that fierce grace so devotees may approach.

Only one day each year — Chandana Yatra — is Nijarūpa darshan given, when the true form is unveiled.

Sri Ramanuja’s visit is remembered on this hill; the Acharya’s bhakti still flavours how this cooled Lord is approached.
