Seebi, Karnataka · 13.5306°, 77.0014°
A late 18th-century Dravidian temple to Narasimha built over roughly a decade by three brothers, sons of Kacheri Krishnappa, a Dewan under Tipu Sultan. It has a three-tiered gopura, a prakara wall and open and closed mantapas.
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.
B. Lewis Rice records that a merchant's pot of grain turned blood-red when boiled on a sacred rock here, and that the god appeared in his dream asking that a temple be raised in atonement.
