Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha temple, Simhachalam, also known as Sinhachala or Simanchala is a Hindu temple situated on the Simhachalam Hill Range, which is 300 metres above the sea level in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is dedicated to Vishnu, who is worshipped there as Varaha Narasimha. As per the temple's legend, Vishnu manifested in this form (lion's head and human body) after saving his devotee Prahlada from a murder attempt by the latter's father Hiranyakashipu. Except on Akshaya Trutiya, the idol of Varaha Narasimha is covered with sandalwood paste throughout the year, which makes it resemble a linga. The present temple was built according to Kalinga architecture by Eastern Ganga king Narasingha Deva I of Odisha in the 13th century and consecrated by his son Bhanudeva I in 1268 AD.The temple architect was Akthai Senapati ,one of the chief minister of Narasingha Deva I. Simhachalam is one of the 32 Narasimha temples in Andhra Pradesh which are important pilgrimage centres. It was regarded as an important centre of Vaishnavism in the medieval period along with Srikurmam and others. The earliest inscription at the temple belongs to 11th-century CE recording the gift by a private individual in the era of Chola king Kulottunga I. In the later half of the 13th century, the temple complex underwent radical physical changes during the reign of the Eastern Ganga king Narasingha Deva I. Narahari Tirtha, a Dvaita philosopher and Eastern Ganga minister converted the Simhachalam temple into an educational establishment of renown and a religious centre for Vaishnavism. It later received patronage from many royal families, of which Suryavamshi Gajapati Dynasty of Odisha and Tuluva dynasty of Vijayanagara Empire are notable . The temple underwent 40 years of religious inactivity from 1564 to 1604 CE. In 1949, the temple came under the purview of the state government and is currently administered by the Simhachalam Devasthanam Board. Simhachalam temple resembles a fortress from outside with three outer courtyards and five gateways. The architecture is a mixture of the styles of the Kalinga Architecture, Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, and the Great Cholas. The temple faces west instead of east, signifying victory. There are two temple tanks: Swami Pushkarini near the temple and Gangadhara at the bottom of the hill. The temple houses a number of sub-shrines and a few mandapams. The religious practices and customs of the temple are formulated by the Vaishnavite philosopher Ramanuja. They are modelled based on the Satvata Samhita, one of the 108 texts of the Pancharatra Agama. Simhachalam is the second-largest temple, after Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh, in terms of income earned. Devotees believe that the deity is capable of giving progeny to women and fulfilling the wishes of devotees. Kalyanotsava and Chandanotsava are the two major festivals celebrated in the temple, followed by Narasimha Jayanti, Navaratrotsava and Kamadahana. The festivals celebrated in Simhachalam have an influence of the Dravida Sampradaya. Apart from those by well-known poets, the temple is found in many literary references and lyrical works (dedicated by anonymous writers), which are preserved in the Government Oriental Manuscripts Library, Chennai. (en) シンハーチャラム寺院（シンハーチャラムじいん、英語：Simhachalam Temple）は、インドのアーンドラ・プラデーシュ州、ヴィシャーカパトナムの寺院。シンハードリ寺院（Simhadri）とも呼ばれる。 (ja) Симхачалам — индуистский храм, посвящённый Нарасимхе — аватаре Вишну в образе человекольва. Храм расположен неподалёку от г. Вишакхапатнам в штате Андхра-Прадеш, Индия. Основное здание храма построено в орисском архитектурном стиле, а вход — в дравидийском стиле. В переводе с санскрита, симха означает «лев», а ачала — «недвижимый» (в данном случае имеется в виду холм, на котором стоит храм). Установленное в храме мурти носит название Вараха Нарасимха Свами. Мурти полностью покрыто сандаловой пастой, которую снимают только раз в году, в ходе крупного фестиваля, привлекающего в храм десятки тысяч паломников. Симхачалам является одним из 18 Нарасимха-кшетр — основных мест паломничества, связанных с божеством Нарасимхи. Симхачалам принято считать вторым самым богатым индуистским храмом в мире после Храма Тирумалы Венкатешвары в Тирупати. Время возникновения храма неизвестно. Самая ранняя надпись в храме датируется 1098 годом. (ru) |
