Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple Timings - Mayapur

Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple is located in Devapalli in the state of West Bengal.

Here the deity is self-manifested, Hiranyakasipu on his lap and Prahlada at his feet.

The temple is famous when Lord Narasimha Swamy came here to take rest and wash the blood from his hands after bestowing his mercy in Prahlada by killing his father Hirayankasipu.

Next to the temple is a lake left behind by Mandakini river that flowed here at that time.

The demigods followed Narasimha Swamy here and worshipped inn great opulence. The changing course of the mandakini river covered the demigod’s palaces and destroyed them and all that remains of them now is the hills that surrounding this area.

It is also said that Narasimha Swamy washed his hands in the pond next to the temple.

This temple was believed to be 500 years old.
