The temple is located just behind the Gundicha temple. There are two deities of Lord Narasimha one behind the other. It is an ancient temple, where Lord Narasimha manifested here before Lord Jagannatha and his temple.
Shantha Narasimha (peaceful) is in the front. Shantha Narasimha has human-like features: a sharp nose, curvy moustache and an outstretched tongue.

By seeing Shantha Narasimha one will feel cool and relaxed; all anger, anxiety and frustration will vanish. Once a marauder named Kalapahad ransacked Puri and broke many Deities.

Upon seeing Shantha Narasimha, his anger subsided and he did not touch the Deity.

He saw Shanta Narasimha image and his anger subsided, hence he could not break the Deity as he had planned.


Deity behind is Ugra Narasimhadeva. He is in the angry mood of Narasimha, which is not usually seen and may be seen only with the help of the pujari’s lamp.
