Sthala Purana
Singirikudi is famous for its imposing Ugra Narasimha, represented with sixteen arms and vivid iconography connected with the destruction of Hiranyakashipu. Prahlada and other figures associated with the Narasimha narrative are represented within the sacred setting.
The temple is an important stop in the Narasimha pilgrimage circuit around Puducherry and Villupuram and is valued particularly for its unusual iconography and long-standing regional worship.
