In India, Narasimha Swami Temples have been established over centuries by Kings, Saints, and Devotees, each having a distinct story associated with the deity’s blessings, miracles, and the architectural genius of that era. Simhachalam Temple is located in Vishakhapatnam (Vizag) of Andhra Pradesh, dedicated to Lord Narasimha Swamy , an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The temple name is derived from "Simha"- a lion and "Achala"- a hill. Nava Narasimha Kshetras are the 9 temples of Lord Narasimha in AP and Telangana. At these places Lord Narasimha Swamy is worshipped in different forms. Narasimha , the fourth avatara is special among the Dasa Avatars of Lord Vishnu. Unlike, all the other avatars of Lord Vishnu which were taken to save the mankind, sages and the devas from the evil forces of the Asura Dynasty, Narasimha avatar was taken to substantiate the words uttered by His ardent devotee, Bhaktha prahlada.
