Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy – Simhachalam (simhadri)

Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy dwells in Simhachalam, on the outskirts of Vishakapatnam. Facing west, the temple is built in Kalinga architecture style atop a scenic hill. The Idol is a composite form of Varaha and Narasimha. The main idol is always smeared with sandal wood paste (to ward off the ferocity) in an oval shape which is removed only once a year on Vaisakha Sudha Tadiya. The oval form is decorated with thirunama on it. This temple is very popular in the northern Andhra districts. Locals fondly refer to the deity as ” Simhadri Appanna”.
