Sri Amirthavalli Thayar Sametha Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Ramapuram, Chennai –89, Tamilnadu,India.

Introduction

Ramapuram,near porur, once considerd a suburb of chennai that was difficult to from the heart of the city {near s r m university}, has now become a crowded place, very much within city limits. it is therefore heartening to know that the very ancient temple for sri lakshmi narasimha perumal located there, which was once in an extremely dilapidated condition, with hardly anyone visiting it, is now in a flourishing state and the centre of active worship.

Temple history

Ananda Vimanam According to the sources connected with the history of this temple, it was originally constructed during the tome of the pallava ruler, narasimhavarman II in the 8th century AD. However, the pillars of the temple, especially those in the mandapa, point to this being a creation of the chola times, subsequent to the pallava era. Whatever be the exact antiquity of this temple, the fact remains that for a long time it remained neglected with many parts of the shrine in a dilapidated condition. Luckily, enthusiastic devotees arranged for the renovation of this temple and the consecration (samprokshanam) was performed in 1983. the second samprokshanam was performed in 1994 when the flag staff(dhvajasthambam) was installed and the third samprokshanam was held in November 2007. the street leading to the temple has been known, from the ancient times, as iyengar street, revealing that people of the srivaishnava community had settled here long bac. The entire area was known as brindaranya kshetra as there was a large tulasi garde here.

Architecture

The entrance to this medium-sized temple, as well as the main shrine, faces east. Worshippers enter the temple through a spacious mandapa with the dhvajasthabam, in front of which, directly facing the main shrine, is a tiny image of sri vainateya or garuda with palms together(anjali hasta). Then there is another pillared mandapa containing the pillars of the chola era. Enshrined in the main sanctum is the small but very powerful image of sri lakshmi narasimha perumal. Like most images of this deity,here too he is seen with goddess lakshmi seated on his left thigh. His upper hands hold the counch(sankha) and discus (chakra). His lower left hand encircles the waist of the goddess while his right hand is in the posture of assuring his devotees that he will save them from all harm(abaya hasta). Interestingly, this image is of greenish stone (pachaikkal) of a resonanat nature. Sri lakshmi narasimha perumal wears a salagrama garland of 38 salagramas, of which 25 are sri santanagopala saligramas and the rest are sri lakshmi narayana salagramas.
