About
The Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Pendlimarri, Kadapa district, is also known as Veyi Nuthala Kona (Veyinuthalakona), the name that appears in the address below. Lord Narasimha is one of the incarnations of Lord Mahavishnu, who took the form with the head of a lion and the body of a man to kill the demon-king Hiranyakashipu.
According to the legend recorded on the private temple guide gotirupathi.wordpress.com, Narasimha could not control his wrath after the killing, and Shiva intervened at the request of the devas; the guide says this is the place where worship was done to calm Narasimha. That is a local legend from a non-official source. The earlier text on this page that the idol was installed in the time of Bukkaraya could not be confirmed and has been removed.
Brahmotsavam
The same guide says the annual Brahmotsavam lasts seven days, with Narasimha Jayanthi and Dwajarohanam on the first day (Sesha Vahana Seva at night), Santhi homam, a procession and Rathotsavam on the second (Garuda Seva at night), and Kalyanotsavam, Chakrasnanam and Dwaja avarohanam on the third. It places the Brahmotsavam in the month of Vaisakha. Dates change yearly and are not given here.
