Description: Vishakhapatnam, May 17, (ANI): Thousands of devotees throng to see the Hindu deity in southern India after the priests of the temple removed the sandal paste from the idol. The devotees turned up in large numbers for the colourful 'Nijarupa Darshanam,' during which they got a glimpse of Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha at Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. According to the tradition, the idol is covered with layers of sandalwood paste throughout the year and only on the occasion of the Hindu festival of Akshay Tritiya, the layers are removed and the idol is worshiped. It was ordained that the idol be covered with sandalwood paste so as to reduce the intensity of the Lord's fiery nature. This year on Akshay Tritiya, thousands of devotees turned up at the temple for the Nijarupa Darshanam where they prayed and sought salvation. The members of the local royal family visit the temple and after worshiping the idol, the temple is thrown open to the general public. The temple is dedicated to Narasimha, the lion headed incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu, and dates back to the 10th century A.D. Views:916 |
