Agaram Agraharam, Hosur, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu · 12.6000°, 77.9400°
A Narasimha temple near Hosur built around a swayambhu stone identified in 1998 during land development and still being extended; the land was made over to the Ahobila Mutt, and Narasimha Jayanti is the principal festival.
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 shrine recalls Vishnu bursting from the pillar as Narasimha, pleased by the devotion of Prahlada.
