The Lord Narasimha is Lord of Dharmapuri. A large number of devotees, daily 1,000 on an average, visit the sacred shrine of Lord Narasimha to pay their homage to Him. Hindus believe Lakshmi Narasimha to be a half man, half lion form of Vishnu. The story behind this is that the a local being, named Hiranya kashyapa had obtained from God Bramha immunity from attack from "man or beast". This person then began abusing his powers and began forcing others to worship him, as if he were a God. Among those abused was his own son, Prahlada a staunch worshiper of Vishnu. In order to surmount Bramha's condition, Vishnu assumed a form that was neither man nor beast, but a combination of both, and then went on to finish off this person with his nails. At that time he was very furious and called as UGRA NARASIMHA and subsequently the saints and Gods prayed him to be cool and Narasimha came to Dharmapuri and undergone a deep meditation with yoga mudra and was called Yoga Narasimha. At the same place a shrine was constructed by then king of Dharmapuri, Dharma Varma by whom the town was called as DHARMAPURI.

Recently a fortnight ago i have visited dharmapuri temple, when i was about to enter the temple some people grouped and they are offering candle lights to yamadharmaraju. I was astonished to see that and when enquired about that, the local people over there said that this is the only temple of yamadharmaraju in India, if we offer oil to yamadharmaraju there wil be no sudden death and health problems.As am also an Indian and a man with sentiments i have offered the same and bowed my head infront of him to give me good health.Have a look of the Idol there!!
