- Tell us about this temple
This temple dedicated to Lord Sri Rama. Here, there is a big hall with 3 separate sanctums. The one in the center is dedicated to Lord Rama along with His consort Sita in a sitting posture. Lakshmana is standing to the left of Rama's idol and Hanuman the loyal companion of Sri Rama is depicted as worshipping Lord Rama's feet. To the left of Sri Rama's sanctum, Lord Venugopal's (Krishna playing the flute) idol is installed. The most striking feature of this idol is of Venugopal with four hands, two of the upper hands are holding the Shanka (conch shell) and Chakra (disc) and the lower hands are holding the flute. To the right of Sri Rama's sanctum, Lord Sudarshana Lakshmi Narasimha idol is installed. This idol is unique as Lord Sudarshana and Lakshmi Narasimha are depicted together in a single idol. In the Narasimha avatar (form), as Narasimha was not supposed to carry any weapons, Lord Sudarshana becomes a part of Narasimha to assist him in devouring the asuras (demons).
