Architecture
Perched on a hillock at a height of 120 metres, the Someshwara Lakhsmi Narasimha Temple is unique in its structure and location. The legend that led to its creation opines that Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, the two powerful gods of the Hindu Trinity, incarnated in two caves formed next to each other on the same hillock. Thus the Someshwara Lakshmi Narasimha Temple came to be formed in these caves. Going by the legend, the temple therefore is dedicated to the worship of both Shiva and Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy or Vishnu. The hills surrounding the temple, therefore forms a natural road for the devotees to circle the shrine. This is commonly known as the Pradakshina Patha and is available in almost all temples. However, the Someshwara Lakshmi Narasimha temple offers uniqueness in this as well. The entrance to the inner chambers of the temple is flanked by two dwarapalikas which resemble Shiva in the Nataraj posture. The structures are in black stone and are shown holding the damaru or hand drum in one hand. Both are beautiful specimens of architecture and are well worth a look. A Nandi bull graces the entrance to the Shiva temple.
History
