'Sri Hari Vaikunta Ksbhetra' is a famous Narasimha Swamy Temple located in Roopena Agrahara, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. According to the temple priest, this shrine boasts of a 400-year-old Narasimha Meru and this is the only temple in India with this special feature. Devotees far and wide flock this temple especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays, considered auspicious days for Narasimha Swamy, to offer their prayers.
Here the Narasimha Meru is seen amidst the idols of Ashta Lakshmis: Aadhi Lakshmi, Santhana Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhaanya Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi, Vira Lakshmi and Aishwarya Lakshmi.
It is believed that performing Namakaranam to children at this temple will give them courage and the deity will protect them forever. It is also believed that children having Annaprashnam done here will never face the scarcity for food through their life and and getting married at the Ashta Lakshmi Samedha Narasimha Swamy Sannidhi will bring peace and prosperity in that couple's life.
A rare feature
'Narasimha Meru' is a chakra with a shape of a hill, specially made for Lord Narasimha Swamy. This has all the mantras (Beejakshara) related to Lord Narasimha Swamy. This rare Narasimha Meru is said to be powerful. This meru has 'Adhi Kurma, Adhi Varaha, Adhi Vasuki and Adhi Manduka' inside the meru, indicating as if these are carrying the meru. At the base one can see 'Chethur Yalli and Ashta Gaga.' At the top of the chakra one can see 'Shreekara and Omkara.'
Devotees believe that performing 28 pradakshanams to Lord Narasimha Swamy and to this Meru by carrying toor dal in the palm and offering it to the temple will solve Kuja dosha, financial constraints, barrenness and will bring peace and prosperity in their life.[13:29
