Sholingur Ghatikachala Yoga Narasimhar and Anjaneyar
Of all the Avatars that Sriman Narayan took, Narasimha Avatar was intended to confirm that God is omnipresent (தூணிலும் இருப்பார், துரும்பிலும் இருப்பார், எங்கும் எல்லாவிடத்திலும் நீக்கமற நிறைந்து இருப்பார்) and rushes to the rescue of Baktha who has immense faith and surrenders unconditionally. Just to respond to the faith of Prahalada, Sriman Narayana came out of the pillar in Narasimha (Half man and Half lion) form. He was full of anger that his Baktha was tortured and after killing the demon, Lord Narasimha had to be pacified. The Devas and Prahalad did offer prayers to Lord Narasimha. Lord Narasimha is not only powerful but also a Karunya Moorthi.

There are many, many slokas on Lord Narasimha.
Every trip to India
Lord Narasimha and
Lord Anjaneya are the top of two hills in . The Peria Malai has 1350 steps
leading to Yoga Narasimha Temple
Lord Rama gave Sanghu and Chakram to Hanuman and asked him
to protect the Saptha Rishis who were doing penance to get Lord Narasimha's darshan. Lord Narasimha blessed Saptha rishi and Hanuman and
asked Hanuman to stay there in another hill and bless devotees in Yoga pose
with Sangu and Chakram. Hanuman has four arms (chatusbuja) with a Sanka and Chakra in
two arms. Lord Anjaneya is seated in a yogic posture with a Jap Mala and Jap
Sanka and meditating upon Lord Narasimhan. Lord Rama Patabisheka is engraved on
his Krida (crown) of Hanuman.
There is Varadaraja temple closer to
"Thakkan Kulam" on the way to Ghatikachala Hills. Sri
Thottaachaaryar, a great servant of Lord Narasimha, lived in Sholingur.
He used to visit Kanchipuram Garuda Sevai regularly. One year he could not make
it as he was unwell. He decided to meditate and visualize the Garudasevai of
Lord Vararaja from Sholingur and he also composed Devaraja Panchakam on Lord
Varadaraja. It is believed that kaanchi varadhar offered garuda
vaahana sevai to him. This event is observed in Kanchipuram on 3rd
day of bramotsavam by having stoppage of proceedings for 2/3 minutes to
enable Lord Varadaraja to complete his obligations to Sri Thottaachaaryar.
