Sri Pataladri Narasimha Peruman(singa perumal koil) Sthuthi

Sri  Pataladri  Narasimha  Peruman   Sthuthi

Translated  by

P.R.Ramachander

(Pataladri, commonly known as Singaperumal Koil is a very famous  Narasimha Kshetra situated in Chengalpattu District, Tamilnadu.  This place houses a beautiful rock-cut Narasimha temple, which is situated on a small hill. The name of the place, ‘PATalAdri’ also gives a similar expression, as in Sanskrit “Patal” means red and “adri” means hill.  This Narasimha Swamy temple is constructed on the hill; rather it appears as if the hill by itself is the temple. It was originally a cave temple, which was later extended by Gopuras and Mandapams.)
