Narasimha Temple, Puri, Hindu temple in Puri, India
The Narasimha Temple stands approximately 60 feet tall and features dual images of Lord Narasimha, positioned one behind the other within its walls.
King Indradyumna established the temple after performing a thousand-year Ashwamedha Yajna, creating the black stone Nrusimha image under a sandalwood tree.
The temple contains both Shanta Narasimha representing calmness and Ugra Narasimha representing anger, following traditional Vaishnava principles of deity arrangement.
The temple welcomes Hindu visitors to view both deities, while non-Hindu visitors may observe the sacred images from the entrance area.
Four subsidiary deities surround the central idol, including Varaha with conch and chakra, Trivikrama with specific attributes, and a four-handed Vishnu image.
