This is a very simple Hoysala architecture temple with roots of Chola art & influence courtesy Shantala Devi – the beautiful danuese queen of Vishnuvardhana. She got Shantigrama as a gift from her husband king.
When you enter Shantigrama off the highway one comes across a beautiful large temple on the left. . . this is a beautiful built temple of Sri Sowmiya Keshava Swamy Temple built by Queen Shantala’s father – Narasingimayya. Though they were Jains they were converted to Vaishnavism by Ramanujacharaya. Being an admirer of Jainism Queen Shantala has modified the two Chola temples to Hoysala architecture. One can find Jain Viharas in Shantigrama too. Today Shantigrama houses two beautiful temples – Sri Sowmiya Keshava Swamy & Sri Lakshmi Sametha Varada Yoga Bhoga Narasimha temples.
Shantigrama is famous for its Narasimha temple. Here lord Narasimha the 4th avaatar of Vishnu is in seated in his yogic form – lion headed man with chakra, mace, nails & jaws . . . Lord Vishnu took this form on Himvat mountain Harivamsa to vanquish Hiranya Kashabu who had become the all mighty & powerful with a grant of a wish by Bhrama and turned evil, arrogant and unreasonable! Even the 3.3 crore Hindu God’s were powerless in front of him. This temple is powerful because of the ritualistic poojas taking place from the past 1200 years. Highest level of discipline & attention needs to be followed when worshipping Lord Narasimha. Here Lord Narasimha is with Lakshmi with shanka (conch) is in his right hand otherwise it’s usually in the left, chakra (wheel) is in the left.
The temple priest is patient friendly and forever educating devotees. The nine forms of Narasimha are – ugra, krodha, veera, vilamba, koapa, yoga, aghora, sudharshana & LakshmiNarasimha. Once you enter the temple and raise your head towards the ceiling you will find the ‘Nava Narasimha’ in a circle above – the nine avatars of Lord Narasimha!
It’s believed that encircling Lord Narasimha 48 times before noon hungry in pure cleanliness after a bath at the adjacent lake (dry in summers – fills up in rainy spells) and asking for a boon – gets delivered. The only thanks one does after that is to feed every devotee who comes to the temple on your thanks giving pooja day. More details of poojas & rituals with the temple poojary. The temple is open from 8 am to 12 noon and again from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Worth the ritual if one is going through difficult challenging times.

Climbing to Yoga Laxmi Narasimha Temple in Melukote
Melukote is a popular religious place and beautiful hill station about 150 kms from Bangalore. It is famous for Yoga Narasimha Swamy temple. From the temple tank Kalyani you can take a walk through the steps to reach Yoga narasimha swamy temple. Otherwise you can drive half the way and take the steps towards the end. The temple is at a hight of 1780 meters. We could feel extremely cold bleeze even in summer season. As it is at a great height we could get good views of the sorroundings from the temple.
Bhoga Laxmi Narasimha Temple at Devarayana Durga
Devarayana durga is famous mainly for two temples, Bhoga laxmi narasimha swamy temple at the foot of the hill and yoga laxmi narasimha swamy temple at the top of the hill. This place is about 70 kms from Bangalore. We had free lunch (rice, sambar etc) in bhoga laxmi narasimha swamy temple. After going to the top of the hill through motorable road we had to climb about 200 steps to reach yoga narasimha swamy temple on the hill at about 4000 ft above sea level. The views of the valley were very interesting while climbing the hill. There were large number of monkeys everywhere which were rather very friendly. Below bhoga laxmi narasimha swamy temple there was a small Bira anjaneya swamy temple and the temple pond. Overall the journey was excellent.

Yoga Lakshmi Narasimha temple uphill soon as they close by 5 PM.
We reached the bottom of the hill by car in ten minutes negotiating ghat roads . Then the temple is uphill and one has to climb 176 steps to reach the temple. It is very serene and believed to be constructed during Vijayanagar ruler Krishna Devaraya . The architecture is in Dravidian style and believed to be swayambhoo moolavar.
Many pilgrims bring their kids for getting talismans for blessings and welfare.
There is a Hanuman temple at the back of this shrine. Lot of monkeys are there uphill and one have to safe guard their bags, purses , cameras being snatched by monkeys.
A place of worship with good architecture and peaceful prayers.
Must visit place.
