In this temple, Lord Sri Hanuman is called as “ Narashimha
Bhaktha Hanuman “ means “ Divine Devotee of Lord Sri Narashimha
“. His hands folded with obedience, his tail placed on top of
his head resembling obedience, and Sri Hanuman always chants the
holy names of Lord Sri Hari with his Japa Mala ( A garland
prepared with herbs used for counting ).
 Sri
Hanuman played a vital role in Lord Sri Rama’s kingdom. He had
served Lord Sri Ram in all the ways, as a servant in personal
life, as a Minister in political operations, as a knight in his
military and etc., Hence, he decorated himself with silk cloths,
gold and diamond ornaments and short sword suitable to all his
roles and responsibilities. With the same dresses, jewels and
decorations, Sri Hanuman came to Namakkal and serving the Lord
Sri Narashima.
You could realize this by having Dharsan of Sri Hanuman in this
temple. Sri Hanuman is decorated with golden Crown; big diamond
Earrings, lengthy gold Garlands and Chains; Fingers decorated
with rings; wrists decorated ornaments; Hip covered with golden
belt; a short curved sword in right hand side of hip; ankles
clubbed with gold rings; such a nice huge and beautiful deity of
Sri Hanuman, we couldn’t see anywhere in this world.
One more specialty of this temple is as follows: Lord Sri
Hanuman don’t like roof over him, would like to stay in open
sky. In past centuries, many people tried many times to build
roof for Sri Hanuman, but Lord Hanuman didn’t accept it. For one
of the devotees, in dream, Sri Hanuman declared as follows: “My
supreme master Lord Sri Narashimha stays inside cave. There is
no roof for him as Hill is the natural roof by itself. Since, my
master doesn’t have the roof, I don’t want to stay under the
roof. Let me live in open sky and do the service for Lord
Narashimha for ever”.
Pallava kingdom built many halls, compound walls and numerous
stone sculptures in this temple, but couldn’t build a roof for
Sri Hanuman. This is the proof that Lord Sri Hanuman didn’t
allow to build a roof for him. Even ten years before, temple
renovation completed with huge budget, but the square portion of
where Sri Hanuman stands, left for open sky.
Devotees comes day and night and do worship to Sri Hanuman in
all aspects. With the great Anugraham of Lord Hanuman, they get
relief for all the problems. Devotees surrender to Sri Hanuman,
who always takes care of his devotees with special attachment.
Devotees are coming from all over the World to have Dharsan of
this temple. Devotees offer sacred tulasi garlands,
sweet-scented betel garlands and flower garlands for decorating
Sri Hanuman. Devotees offer milk, ghee, honey, sugar and nuts
with full of devotion.
Every night, garlands are removed from Sri Hanuman and placed in
the corner of the temple. You could see the collected garlands
to a small hill height.
On Sri Hanuman’s birthday, New Year day and special sacred days
and festivals, this temple will be filled with numerous
devotees, garlands, offering, prayers etc.,
Worship Sri Hanuman at Namakkal, the sacred Vaishnava and great
devotee of Lord Sri Narashimha, fulfill all your wishes.
