Asta Mukha Gandha berundha Narasimha painting. Rare indeed, as this form is not very known to the people as well to the Vaisnavas it self. But in the area of sri Rangam one finds 3 wall paintings of the Narasimha form one with 16 hands the other one with 32 hands. Lord narasimha is shown killing the demon hiranyakashipu and the form of shiva named sharaba, as this story goes that shiva wanted to stop Narasimha and show his supremacy, but Lord Narasimha killed this form of shiva and became only passified when Laxmi appeared as female Lion (Narasimhi also known as Patyangira). Those stories are not found in the common Bhagavatam/Puranas but only in scriptures like Narasimha Purana, and some Upanishad giving some hint to that.
anyhow that Form is worshipped only in two spots (as far i know) one in Yadhava Giri Gutta inside a cave, and in mangala Giri on top of the Mountain. We have recieved a deity form of the Lord, but he has to be installed very soon. Then we will post some pictures here.
Jaya Jaya Narasimha!!!
Jaya Jaya Narasimha!
