Ugra Narasimha temple Maddur
Sri Ugra Narasimha temple at Maddur, the idol is from the Dwapara Yuga and the temple was constructed in the 10th century. The idol from a single rock was a udbhava murthy, and consecrated at the temple by the hoysala Kings after chiselling it in typical hoysala style. It is unbelievably beautiful .
This is the Varadaraja swamy temple right next door. Vishnu Vardhan the king in the 11th century was advised to take his mother to Kancheepuram to pray to Lord Varadaraja for her eye sight to be restored. Since she was too old to make the long journey, he commissioned an identical idol and the moment the aarti was performed at the consecration, her eye sight was restored. Hence the Lord is also called Netra Narayana. The scaffolding you see is because the idol is over 15' tall and the pujas are done standing on the scaffolding. Another hidden gem found and was duly awe struck.
