The priest of the main temple told us that the temple is actually built over a pond, and below the steps in front of main temple entrance, there is a small window, through which one can see a water cistern...quite unique, right? In front of main entrance, there is a "Nandi" resting on a giant turtle in the lotus shaped pond. It is said that, once a year, the day Lord Narasimha appeared as per Vishnu Purana, the pond is filled-up with water and it looks like if the turtle is swimming on water surface.

Lord Narasimha here is in its two forms, one is Fierce form tearing Hiranyakashipu stomach, and other is Gentle form, with Laxmi on left lap...deriving the name "Laxmi Narasimha".
