Kozha Sree Narasimhaswami Temple is a Hindu temple located in Kuravilangad, kottayam,Kerala, India. The temple is dedicated to Narasimha. Lord Narasimha is the fourth incarnation (Avatar) of lord Mahavishnu to kill and give moksha to Hiranya Kasipu.Hiranyakashipu could not be killed by human, deva or animal, Narasimha is neither one of these, as he is a form of Vishnu incarnate as a part-human, part-animal. He comes upon Hiranyakashipu at twilight (when it is neither day nor night) on the threshold of a courtyard (neither indoors nor out), and puts the demon on his lap (neither earth nor space). Using his nails (neither animate nor inanimate) as weapons, he disembowels and kills the demon. Even after killing Hiranyakashipu, Narasimha cannot control his fury. None of the present demigods were able to calm Narasimha's fury. Thus, at the request of Narada, Prahlada was presented to Narasimha, and finally, he was calmed by the prayers of his devotee. He is invoked by His devotees in danger and there are testimonies of people who were saved by Him.After killing the Hiranya kasipu Narasimha calmed by the prayers of Prahalada with Lakshmi is the kindest Bhava (form) of Lord Narasimha. It is in that form Narasimha Moorthy showers his blessings in Kozha Sree Narasimha Swami Temple.As per the legends it is the very ancient temple in Kerala with Narasimha as its idol. Kozha Sree Narasimha Swami is the one and only Swayambhoo Narasimha Idol in Kerala. In ancient time this place was ruled by the Vadakkumkoor Raja. At that time this place was a thick forest. Kozha Sree Narasimha Moorthy had been taking his birth in Kozha, kuravilangad a valley at that time. It is believed that a Vana Veda who found at first the idol of Lord Narasimha from the soil. Some people believe that he was not a real veada but the lord Shiva as himself in the form of veda who found the idol. The Vettakkoru Makan (Son of Sree Parameshwara and Parvathy when they took the form of Kiratha and Veda Sthree) temple situated near by the Narasimha swami temple is strengthen the story. ==See also== * () * Temples of Kerala 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kozha sree narasimhaswami temple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
