LOCATION
OF THE TEMPLE: Sri Lakshmi Narashimaswami Temple,
is situated at Sholingar of Vellore district, Tamilnadu, India.
HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: Once,
there was a king by named "Hiranyan" did a strong tapas and got the varam. To
kill him, Sriman Narayanan took the Avatharam of Sri Narasimhar. To get the
seva of Narasimha avathar, Saptha Rishis (7 great Rishis) started their tapas
here. Within 1 Kadigai, Narasimhar gave his seva as "Yoga Narasimhar". So this
sthalam is called "Thirukkadigai".
Kadigai represnts the fraction of time.
Since the Perumal gave his seva to the rishis within a kadigai, this sthalam is
called as "Thirukkadigai".
Indirathuyman, the King of North Madurai
killed the Asuraas who were giving problems to Rishis and people over here.
Since, he helped the rishis and bhaktas, he was given the Vajrayudham by
Indiran (Weapon of Indiran) to Indirathuyman. To help him, Yoga Narasimhar
asked Anjaneyar to help him.
