Both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva grace from the
same shrine. Lord Vishnu graces with His Consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi from
the sanctum sanctorum with His conch and disc in a standing form. Though He
is called Narasingaperumal, He does not have the Lion face. He graces as
Shantamurthi – calm face. There is a corridor between the sanctum sanctorum
and the outer corridor enabling a special going round of the sanctorum.
Only in very ancient temples, such a facility is available. Garuda is in a
separate shrine in front of the main shrine. Lord Shiva is just by the side
of Lord Vishnu in the sanctum sanctorum. Pujas are performed to Vishnu and
Shiva in order. Bhairava belonging to Lord Shiva graces from a separate
shrine. Special pujas are performed to Bhairava on the Ashtami day (8th day
from the full moon or new moon days) during the new moon days. Remedial
place for Sun afflictions: The Lord is also called Kathri Narasinger. The
word Kathri denotes the excessive and powerful rays of Sun. Those having
adverse Sun aspects pray to the Lord here and also those undergoing the Sun
main period pray here for remedies. Mother Kamalavalli graces from a shrine
right to the Lord. For improvement and progress in education of the
children parents offer cardamom garlands to Lord Lakshmi Hayagriva.
Chakkarathalwar graces from a separate shrine with 16 hands wearing a crown
of Agni Jwala – fire flames. The deities of Gayathri Mahamantra are
sculpted around Him. Above Him is Lord Narasimha killing demon Hiranya and
Lakshmi Narasimha below the feet with Garuda worshipping him. Yoga
Narasimha is behind Chakkarathalwar holding the disc in his four hands.
People pray to Lord before admitting the children in school seeking His
blessings.

History:

Once a king aspired to build a temple for Lord
Shiva and Lord Vishnu in the same place. But, he was not able to find a
suitable place and was confused. Both Lords appeared in his dream and
identified this place. Happy king, found a swayambu Linga and constructed
the temple here with Perumal. In course of time as Perumal became popular,
the temple came to be known as Kadir Narasingaperumal temple.
