Abaya Hastha Swayambu Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Agaram Village, Hosur, Hindu temple in Agaram Village, Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India
The Abaya Hastha Swayambu Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple sits about 15 kilometers from Hosur along Rayakotta Road in Agaram village. It features a main shrine with inner sanctums surrounded by temple grounds that provide space for visitors and pilgrims to gather.
The sanctuary emerged in 1998 after spiritual occurrences observed during a construction project, leading to discoveries about Lord Lakshmi Narasimha's presence in the area. The 46th Jeeyar of Ahobila Mutt later confirmed the religious significance of a rock formation as Swayambu Narasimha Swamy.
Agaram village carries a name rooted in old Brahmin settlements and maintains this heritage through its community structure. The place remains a pilgrimage destination where visitors can witness religious rituals and see the temple's role in local spiritual life.
The grounds have a natural water source discovered during construction at about 7 feet (2 meters) depth that still supplies water to visitors and villagers. Visit during the Panguni Uthiram celebrations in March or April to see ceremonial processions moving through the streets.
A particular rock formation at the temple is revered as the natural, uncarved form of Narasimha, the lion incarnation of God. This interpretation of a natural stone formation as a divine manifestation holds special meaning for worshippers visiting the site.
