LORD NARASIMHA OF KARPARA KSHETRA

Their steady influx made once an insignificant place into a spiritual haven; miracles of the lord were multiplied, genuine faith was rewarded and spirituality bloomed. The image of Lord Venkateswara thus received due prayers and his glory became pre-eminent.

Later the Aswartha tree grew older and started drying up. Branch after-branch fell, but before its final fall to the ground, it demonstrated to the world a great wonder. It fell on the auspicious day of Narashima Jayanthi - the thirteenth day of the bright half of Vaisakhamasa. When it fell, it verily revealed an inestimable spiritual wealth which can be calculated and expressed in the astronomical figures only - there were found in the hollow of the trunk countless saligrams of different dimensions. Among them there was big one weighting about five kilograms and it bore resemblance to Lord Narasimha. On due examination, it was found to be an eight- armed Narashimha in his fierce aspect.
