This temple is located
next to the Gundicha Temple. There are two Deities
of Lord Narasimha, one behind the other, The Deity
in front is caked Santa Narasimha (sober). Anyone
who sees this Deity will be cooled down; all his
anger, frustration and anxiety will vanish.
The Deity in the
back is called Raga Narasimha. He is the internal
mood of Narasimha. When the Muslim Kalapahad attacked
Puri and was breaking the Deities, he saw Santa
Narasimha the Deities, he saw Santa Narasimhadeva
and his anger subsided; hence could not break the
Deity as he had planned. Santa Narasimha's features
are human-like. He has a Sharp nose, large, curly
mustache, and an outstretched tongue,
Lord Caitanya took
darsana here during His Gundicha pastimes. Lord
Caitanya rested near this temple after cleaning
the Gundicha Temple. |
