Srirangam, Tiruchirappalli district, Tamil Nadu · 10.8601°, 78.6980°
A Narasimha temple at Srirangam attributed to the 9th-century Pandya king Vallabadevan. Pillai Lokacharya gave philosophical discourses here in the 12th century, and Manavala Mamunigal took charge of its administration in the 15th at a Pandya ruler's request.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
The deity is called Varaprasadi, the granter of boons, and the shrine Ekaanthanthaman Koil for the stillness of its precinct.
