This idol of the Lord ("Divya Mangala Moola Vigraham") has the distinct features that befit the descriptions in Brahma Stuthi ("Dhyana Sloka") of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Sahasranama Stotra. The total height of the Lord till the hoods of Adhi Sesha comes to about twenty five feet. This was followed by copious abhishekam (Thirumanjanam) of the idol by cow's milk and tender cocunut.The devotees were thrilled at the gigantic and majestic sixteen feet tall idol of the Lord with an amazing smile on His face.
Lakshmi Narayana Bhattar (Salem) and Shri K Parthasarathy Swami of Sri Rangam. The day was uniquely auspicious converging the twin benefits of Chitra Pournami (The Purnima/Full Moon Day of the Chitra Tamil Month) alongside with the the fact that the guiding star of the day was Swathi, the star that is dedicated to the worship of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha.The installation procedure was carried along with elaborate processes punctuated by Gata Sthapanam, Kalasa Pooja, Vasthu Homam, Prathistha Homam and other holy rituals associated with the process by dedicated vidwaks under the elite leadership of scholar Dr. I would like to sincerely thank sgpeetam (at) for letting me keeping posted about the developments of the temple.The temple trustees have currently successfully completed the installation of the Moola Vigraham of the idol on 2nd May, 2007.
It is with great pleasure that I would like to share with other readers regarding this new temple of Viswaroopa Lakshmi Narasimhan that is being constructed in the Kattavakkam village, Walajabad near Kanchipuram.
