Sri Penushila Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple
Regardless of the exact details of Sri Penushila Lakshminarasimhaswamy’s birth (birth), there is a legend circulating regionally. Lord Vishnu, who took the form of fierce Narasimha to suppress Hiranyakashya’s religion, wanders through the forests and administers evil discipline. Seeing Shri Maha Vishnu roaring furiously and reaching the Chhatravati region, the birds ran away in time. However, Chenchulakshmi, the daughter of Chenchuraja of the region, who was scared like a snake and dared to run away, was charmed by her beauty and Narasimha took the form of Prasanna and married her. Chenchita was interwoven with the fierce form and emerged as the next Shanthamurthy. Therefore, this source proves that two rocks were interlaced at the place of Virat. It is known that Sri Maha Vishnu married Chenchu Lakshmi because he got angry with the real Sati (Adilakshmi) and went away from Vishnu to the other side of the river, and it is known that Sri Adilakshmi (Mahalakshmi) appeared on the other side of the river.
