Sculpted in ritually pure Panchaloha, this unique image of Chakrathallavar (Sudarshana Chakra in an anthropomorphic form) on one side and the ferocious Sri Narasimha on the other, a powerful object in Tamil Vaishnava temples.
Also known as Sudarshan Perumal, the discus of Sri Vishnu takes a divine aspect in this icon, worshiped alongside the image of Vishnu-Narayana.
The reverse of the image displays the lion-headed Lord as “Yoga-Narasimha”, raised on a seat held on the hoods of Adi Shehsa.
Together, the two divine deities represent the supreme and swift protection bestowed by Vishnu.
The circular aura marked by fiery motifs is placed on inverted louts and balanced on the heads of two roaring lions, elevating the divine icon to mark its sacredness.
