We and you have visited such temples till date, where God is in front and people are having darshan of him, but you must have always seen God made of marble or some hard metal idol, which is worshipped every morning and evening. But there is a temple where the idol of God is alive, and people come here every day to see the truth. Some also come here with faith that the living God will listen to them soon.
We are talking about Hemachal Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple which is located in Mallur village of Warangal district of Telangana state. This temple is built on a hill named Puttakonda at an altitude of about 1500 feet above sea level. It is believed that the idol (vigraha) of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy has appeared from this hill itself. On the way to the temple, Lord Hanuman is also seated in the form of Shikhanjaneya and is considered the protector deity of Mallur. A YouTuber says that the idol of Lord Narasimha in this temple is as soft as human skin. If you want to go to this temple, then first know the story of this temple.
What does youtuber say
He said that this idol is 10 feet long and so soft that by placing a flower on this idol and pressing it, the flower goes inside and by pressing more, blood also starts coming out of this idol. Apart from this, a liquid like blood keeps coming out from the navel of the idol, to stop this, sandalwood paste is applied there. The priest of this temple also tells that when one goes near the idol, one can feel the breathing of the idol. People believe that Narasimha Swami himself lives in this temple.
A stream flows near the temple, which is believed to have originated from the feet of Lord Narasimha. This stream was named “Chintamani” by Queen Rudramma Devi and is called “Chintamani Jalapatham” by the locals. This water is considered holy and has medicinal properties.
