Kadiri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple

The Lord Narasimha at Kadiri is believed by devotees to be self emanating (Svaymabhu) from the roots of “Khadri” tree. The main pole (Moolavirat) is that of AshtaBaahu Sri Nrusimha (having eight hands) cleaving Hiranyakasipu and transforming into a more protecting persona with Bhakta Prahlada standing beside him, with folded hands, paying obeisances. After the daily Abishekam is performed, the Archa-Vigraha (Deity of Narasimha) is claimed by the Archakas to be sweating, despite being repeatedly wiped off by the Archakas here.
