Yagna Narasimha Temple

The temple of Yagna Narasimha is situated in north east of Gundicha temple, close to its boundary wall. When you walk from Gundicha temple towards Indradyumna Sarovara, Yagna Narasimha is a short distance on your right.

The presiding deity is Lord Narasimha. There are two images of Lord Narasimha inside the temple, one behind the other. The image in front is called Santa Narasimha. In local language 'Santa' means 'Calm' or 'Sober'. Anyone who sees this image of Lord Narasimha will have his anger, frustration, and anxiety will vanish. The Deity in the back is called Ugra Narasimha. In local language 'Ugra' means 'Angry'. He is the internal mood of Narasimha.

This area of Gundicha (Indradyumna Sarovara, etc.) is known as Mahavedi. When king Indradyumna came here for the first time he camped in this area and after worshiping Lord Narasimha, performed one thousand Ashvamedha Yagnas.
