Narasimha Temple at Polur

[Guest guest]

It is a Narasimha Temple on top of the Hill. I contacted Sekar

Bhattachariar who also looks after the Perumal Temple down below. He

generally goes to the Narasimha Temple around 4-30 a.m and returns by

8-30 a.m. There is a Chowkidar who remains on top generally and opens

the temple to the visitors coming later. He also returns by evening.

If the Bhattachariar is informed well in advance, he will arrange for

darshan, Abhishekam etc.

His contact details are:

V.Sekar Bhattachariar

17, Perumal Koil St

Polur-606803

Tiruvannamalai Dist

Mobile: 9842307594; 9443098358

He told us that the temple has around 840 steps and the steps are

quite steep. Since we had planned to do Girivalam at Tiruvannamalai

early in the morning, we gave up the idea of climbing the hill. We

plan to do it later after informing the Bhattachariar well in

advance. He prefers a group of people rather than small nos.

We had, however, darshan at Avaniyapuram where they are having Bala

Aalayam.

With best wishes,

Subramanian
