His strategic plan involved creating a defensive line through the Bengaluru Fort, Savandurga Fort and Devarayana Durga Fort. ​ \ However, there is no documentation of any battles occurring at this fort, nor are there any visible defense equipment, weaponry or living quarters for soldiers. This raises the question of whether the fort was ever truly functional or merely symbolic. It’s possible that the fortification served as an official statement of the Mysore kingdom's expansive reach, especially considering that, before Chikka Devaraja, the kingdom's boundaries extended only as far as Channapatna. This fortification may have marked the then limits of the Mysore Kingdom.​ \ \ We'll continue climbing the stairs towards the entrance of the Yoga Narasimha temple \ panorama_7BA16357_6FFA_D827_41DA_9120B4D4F1A1.subtitle = Notice how the fortified walls are remarkably well-preserved, showcasing the fort's strength. Yet, apart from the Yoga Narasimha Temple, no other structures—such as defence installations or residences—exist within the walls. This raises the question: why was such an enormous fortification effort undertaken?​ \ \ To understand, we must revisit history. By the 1600s, South India was dominated by three powerful forces: the Mughals, the Marathas, and the Wodeyars, all vying for control. Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar's strategic thinking likely influenced the construction of this fort as a defensive measure.​ \ \ As we move toward the next two bastions, we'll gain a better geographical perspective to complement this historical context. \ \ We'll now climb to the next bastion which will be on the right side of the stairs panorama_C4AF0F6E_D3C5_276D_41E9_0269E563192D.subtitle = Since the early 1500s, when the Wodeyars were vassals of the Vijayanagara Empire, Mysore has been the capital under their rule. By 1700, under Chikka Devaraja, their reign swept impressively across from Chikkamagalur on the West to Coimbatore & Salem (in present day Tamil Nadu) on the South - an expanse lying to the West horizon (refer to the map hotspot for approximate extent). \ \ Over time, Mysore not only evolved into a significant political center but also became a hub for flourishing science, art, architecture and literature. It stood as a political, social and economic capital, comparable to other prominent capitals of the era, such as Thanjavur and Agra. \ \ Our next stop is at the Eastern Bastion, just before the entrance to the upper fort & Yoga Narasimha temple ​ panorama_C4DD4D70_D3C7_2B75_41DF_1037EFA2A355.subtitle = The exact construction date of the temple is unknown. It is surprising that there is only a temple inside the fortifications, and no other suggestions of defence equipment or residences. Research suggests that Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar mainly provided grants to existing temples, rather than building new ones; and was more favourably inclined towards Vaishnava temples, with fewer grants to Shiva temples and Jain Basadis. Inscriptions from 1858 show grants to the Bhoga Narasimha Temple in Devarayana Durga. All these indicate that an existing temple might have been refurbished during the fort's construction. \ \ A brief description of the temple is provided along with the ground plan. We recommend reading it before visiting the temple. The audio is muted inside the temple panorama_75D669A7_65E4_14CF_41C0_4343A8DAF36E.subtitle = The ground plan consists of a Gopura at the entrance facing south-west followed by both Garuda sthamba and Deepa sthamba along with a mantapa which poses a unique function, in a straight line. The mantapa is said to have once housed a large mirror which reflected sunlight into the garbagriha, which otherwise is very dark. ​ \ \ Following the mirrored mantapa is a Garuda mantapa, who is the vahana of Lord Vishnu. The inner part of the temple complex consists of a Navaranga and the Garbagriha with a shikhara over it. To the south-east of the sanctum is a Ganesha shrine. ​ \ \ To the Northwest side of the prakara, there are two smaller shrines dedicated to LakshmiNarasimha and Hanuman. \ \ After visiting the temple, we could step outside again to the kalyani (temple pond) adjacent to the temple walls panorama_68811EF8_6557_E383_41C1_F07711A024CE.subtitle = The ground plan consists of a gopura facing east, a Prakara (pillared porch), Mukhamantapa, Navaranga, Antarala, Garbagriha and a Sukhanasi with a shikhara over it. \ The presiding deity inside the sanctum is Narasimhaswamy. \ ​ \ The pillars inside the Mukhamantapa are erected in the Vijayanagara style with carvings of different deities on each pillar. ​ \ \ Beside the main temple, inside the same prakara is the Ammanavar temple which is dedicated to goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Narasimha. The temple consists of a Mantapa and a Garbagriha. \ \ Some additional details can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding hotspots. After visiting the temple, we could proceed to the Sanjeevaraya swamy shrine, located around 150 metres to the north after exiting the temple. panorama_EDAED01A_FD7A_AE8F_41D6_F0FDF692DE4D.subtitle = This shrine is dedicated to Lord Hanuman, who during the war between Lord Rama & Ravana, \ had carried the sanjeevani & other herbs from the Himalayas to Lanka, to revive an unconscious Laxmana. \ \ The temple has a simple ground plan consisting of a Garbagriha and an ardha mantapa, but without a Shikhara. The idol inside the Garbagriha is made of black stone, standing in an erect posture with both his hands joined in front of him in an Anjali mudra. The shrine is believed to have been built around the same time as the Bhoga LakshmiNarasimha swamy temple. \ \ From here, we could proceed to the Devarayanadurga fort atop the hill - by road (approx. 20-30 mins) or ​by a climb (approx. 1-1.5 hour). The Yoga Narasimha temple is located atop the hill & within the fort. panorama_0123D416_1335_8D58_41AD_5930E7765E87.subtitle = Two fairly well maintained bastions welcome us into the fort. \ The fort is named after the Wodeyar king ​Chikka Devaraja (also known as Devaraya) when he captured the region in 1696. He built the fort here which - along with the forts of Savanadurga & Bangalore - served as the first line of defence against Maratha incursions. \ \ ​ As we climb up, we can see a small Veera Anjaneya (Hanuman) shrine within the rocks on the left. Further ahead, there's a bastion on the left - our next stop - that offers a nice aerial view of the Bhoga LakshmiNarasimhaswamy temple & its surroundings panorama_4F9A1E9C_549B_9C4C_41C9_66C687A32F23.subtitle = We end this tour taking in the serene surroundings of Yoga Narasimha temple, \ \ Another interesting place to visit nearby is Namada Chilume which is ~6 kms away from here at the foothills. It is a perennial natural spring emanating from the surface a rock. It is believed that Rama, Lakshmana & Sita visited this place during their exile. When they could not find water to prepare their tilak (a religious mark on the forehead), Rama shot an arrow into the stone and water sprung forth. Thus the name Namada Chilume {Naama = tilaka; Chilume = spring in Kannada). There is also a deer park near the place. \ \ We hope you enjoyed your visit as well as the guided tour.

This temple is dedicated to Sri LakshmiNarasimha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. A temple at the top of the Devarayanadurga hill is dedicated to Sri Yoga Narasimha swamy, another form of Narasimha. ​ \ \ The temple's origins trace back to the 15th century, when Mysore's Devaraja Wodeyar ruled, as a feudatory of the Vijayanagara empire. The exquisite pillars adorning the entrance hall and the offering hall are remnants of this era. \ \ Towering over the entrance stands a magnificent 5-storey gopura - a testament to the Vijayanagara style of architecture known for its imposing gateways. At the center of each tier are showcased two Dwarapalas, (gatekeepers) holding a Shankha (conch), Chakra (discus) and Gada (mace).​​ \ \ On either side of the gopura, there are 12 Devakoshtas (niches or mini shrines) housing deities depicting the Dashavataras of Vishnu. There are several Vedic deities depicted in between these mini-shrines as well, now protected with white paint.

Balarama​
Many Vaishnavites consider Balarama as the 8th avatar. There are others who believe he's an incarnation of Adi Shesha, the King of serpents and one of Vishnu's mounts. They consider Krishna to be the 8th incarnation of Vishnu and Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, as the 9th. ​
Balarama was the elder brother of Krishna, born to Nanda in Gokul. He helped Krishna to slay several asuras and their evil uncle, Kamsa. He did not participate directly in the Mahabharata war, but taught mace fighting to Bheema & Duryodhana. ​
Balarama was extremely strong, very well versed in agriculture and the arts and had strong associations with farming and farmers. He was known as a deity who used farm equipment as weapons when required. He is depicted here as a farmer carrying a plough, one of his weapons, on his shoulders. ​

Kalki Avatar​​
According to Hinduism, it is foretold that Lord Vishnu will take a future incarnation in the form of Kalki, which literally translates to "destroyer of darkness". As per Hindu eschatology, this would be his tenth and final incarnation announcing the end of the present epoch - Kali Yuga- and would usher in the next epoch, Satya yuga or Kalki yuga. ​
According to the Puranic scriptures, when the time comes for Kalki to return, he will do so mounted atop a white horse called Devadutta and brandishing a flaming sword to destroy the prevailing evil. He is depicted here with 4 arms and the head of a horse, probably to avoid attributing a specific human form to him.

Krishna​​
Lord Krishna is depicted here with two of his consorts, Rukmini and Satyabhama. Rukmini was the chief consort of Krishna, and an avatar of Goddess Lakshmi – and is usually shown seated to the right of Krishna. Satyabhama is an avatar of Bhudevi, the earth-goddess. She aided Krishna in defeating the demon Narakasura.

Kurma Avatar
The second avatar of Vishnu was to help the devas & asuras during the Samudra Manthan – the churning of ocean - to extract the nectar of immortality. The churning was done with the serpent Vasuki as a rope & the mountain Mandara as a churning staff. In the midst of the churning, Mandara began to sink. Lord Vishnu took the form of a Kurma (= Turtle in Sanskrit) and supported the mountain on his back, ensuring the churning is completed. When the nectar emerged, Lord Vishnu also took the female form of Mohini to divert attention of the asuras, and ensure that only the devas could partake the nectar of immortality. The avatar is represented as half-human and half-turtle. ​

Lord Vishnu
One of the Trimurti devas – the others being Lords Shiva & Brahma - Lord Vishnu is considered to be the preserver and protector of the universe. Towards this end, he is said to descend to the earth as an avatar (incarnation) in troubled times to destroy evil and restore cosmic order. He has taken 9 main incarnations in the 3 bygone yugas (epochs of time): the first four in the Satya / Krita yuga, the next 3 in Treta yuga and the last 2 in Dwapara yuga. It is believed that he will reincarnate once again to end the current Kali yuga and usher in a new era – the Satya/ Kalki yuga. These ten avatars – Dashavatar (Dasa = ten in Sanskrit) – are represented in order of appearance in the mini-shrines alongside. ​
He is depicted here in an upright position, with blue skin and 4 arms – carrying his Sudarshana chakra (discus) in his right, Panchajanya (conch) in the left, and the other two in the abhaya and varada mudras.

Matsya avatar
Lord Vishnu took this avatar to rescue the first man, Vaivasvata Manu, the seven great sages and the Vedas during the Great Flood that could have destroyed life on earth. He incarnated as Matsya (=Fish in Sanskrit) and helped Manu navigate the flood, bringing samples of every plant and animal species to the renewed earth on his boat. He is depicted as a four-armed figure with the top half of a man and the bottom half of a fish.

Narasimha Avatar
​Hiranyakashipu, the younger brother of Hiranyaksha, wanted to avenge the slaying of his brother at the hands of Vishnu. Through years of penance, he sought the boon of immortality from Lord Brahma. Brahma declined it as impossible, but allowed the king to choose the terms of his death. Thinking it to be impossible, Hiranyakashipu asks that he not be killed by man or animal, inside or out, day or night, on earth or the stars, with a weapon neither living nor inanimate. ​
Empowered with the boon, Hiranyakashipu unleashes a reign of terror; however, he was unable to convince his own son Prahlad to stop his devotion to Lord Vishnu. After several failed attempts by others to kill Prahlad, in his anger Hiranyakashipu took it upon himself to kill his son. It was then that Lord Vishnu took on his fourth incarnation to protect his devotee and to rid the universe of the evil. Vishnu took on a hybrid form of half-human & half-lion, and proceeds to disembowel the demon, with his claws, on the courtyard threshold of his palace, at dusk, with the demon on his thighs – thus fulfilling all conditions of his choice of death.
He is depicted here as Ugra Narasimha - his most ferocious form - pulling out the entrails of the demon as he slays him, with Prahlad on the side with folded hands. ​
This avatar is the main deity of this temple.

Shri Krishna
​​The demon-like king Kamsa, after overthrowing his father King Ugrasena, imposed a tyrannical rule immensely troubling both the earth dwellers & celestial beings. The earth was also troubled by the reign of several other wicked and evil kings. To restore dharma, Lord Vishnu took avatar as Krishna and slew several asuras, Kamsa and helped the Pandavas defeat the Kauravas in the Mahabharata war. ​
He's depicted here in his Muralidhar form - literally meaning the one holding a Murali (flute)​

Shri Rama
​​Ravana, the asura king of Lanka, was made very powerful by his penances to Lords Shiva & Brahma. Though very learned, he got intoxicated with his powers, and terrorized the devas and humans. Lord Vishnu took his seventh incarnation as Rama, born to the royal family of Ayodhya. To honour his father's promise, Rama willingly gave up his throne and went into exile for 14 years. During his exile, Ravana kidnapped his wife, Sita. Along with his brother Laxman and with the help of the Vanaras, Rama fought & killed Ravana and rescued Sita, thereby also liberating the world. ​
In Hinduism, the incarnation of Lord Rama is venerated as the archetypal ideal man - Maryada Purushottam - and an embodiment of righteousness. He's depicted here with his bow & arrows, his weapon of choice.

Sri Narasimha is depicted here with his consort Lakshmi, seated on his lap. He appears to be serene in this form - in contrast to his ugra (terrible) aspect, where his face is contorted and enraged. He is depicted with 4 hands, 2 of them carrying his Sudarshana Chakra and Panchajanya (conch).​
Lord Narasimha is commonly depicted as half-man and half lion. He has a ferocious expression on his face and has long and sharp finger nails. He has also been described in more than 74 forms, based on the pose and weapons he holds. There are nine forms that are the most famous - which are together called the Nava Narasimha.

Vamana Avatar​​
King Mahabali was the 4th descendant of Hirankashyapu and the grandson of Prahlad. He gained numerous powers through his penances, and defeated Lord Indra and ruled over the three worlds. Responding to the pleas of the devas for protection, Lord Vishnu took his fifth incarnation as a short brahmin (Vamana = dwarf in Sanskrit) and appeared before Mahabali during a yagna. Accepting the king's offers, Vamana asks for three paces of land. Surprised by the seemingly trivial demand, Mahabali promises him the 3 paces. Vamana then took on towering proportions: with his first step, he covered the Earth and with his second – the Heavens. He then enquired with Bali as to where he could take his 3rd step. By now, Bali realized the true form of Vamana. With his ego shattered and to honour his promise, he offers his own head for Vishnu to keep his 3rd step. Pleased with his offer, Vishnu does so – and with his touch, grants Bali immortality. ​
Vamana is considered the first incarnation of Lord Vishnu in a human form, and he's depicted as a short mendicant carrying Chhatra (wooden umbrella) and kamandala (water pot).

Varaha Avatar
The powerful demon Hiranyaksha had kidnapped the Earth – personified as the Goddess Bhudevi - and hid her in the primordial waters. To save Bhudevi, Lord Vishnu took the third incarnation as a boar (Varaha = Boar in Sanskrit) and fought a long and intense battle with Hiranyaksha. After finally defeating him, Varaha lifted the Earth from the ocean with his tusks and restored Bhudevi to her original position in the cosmos. ​
The avatar is depicted here as a body with the head of a boar, carrying the earth between the tusks. ​

Vedic Deities
Vedic deities are the deities mentioned in the sacred text of Rigveda. They are the personification of the forces of nature. The Rigveda was composed around 1700 BC and it mentions 33 such Gods and Goddesses some of which have evolved into the deities whom we worship today like Agni, Rudra (Shiva), Vishnu, Saraswati etc.. The legends & mythology around these deities may have changed over the centuries. ​​

​​Parashurama Avatar
Parashurama was Lord Vishnu's sixth incarnation, taken in order to end the tyranny of Kshatriyas – who had grown strong & arrogant, and misused their powers to terrorize others. Parashuram took birth as the son of the sage Jamadagni and Renuka. He obtained Lord Shiva's powerful battle axe, Vidyudabhi, through his penance; thus earning him the name as Lord of Parashu (Parashu = Battle axe in Sanskrit). ​
When the Kshatriya king Kartavirya & his army had halted at his ashram, Rishi Jamadagni was able to feed all of them with the help of his celestial cow, Kamadhenu. Jamadagni refused the king's demand for the cow. Infuriated, the king destroyed the ashram, seized the cow and forcibly took it to his palace. Angered by this injustice, Parashurama pursued the king, single-handedly defeated his army and killed him, and retrieved Kamadhenu. To avenge his death, the sons of Kartavirya attacked Jamadagni in Parashuram's absence and killed him. The furious Parashama vowed to take revenge and swore vengeance on every Kshatriya on the planet. He set about eliminating them in earnest, and only stopped after his grandfather Rishi Ricika appeared and asked him to. ​
Parashuram is considered the first Brahmin- Kshatriya (a warrior-saint), tasked with the responsibilities of both castes. He's depicted here in the attire of a rishi, while shouldering his battle axe. He's also considered one of the seven immortals or Chiranjeevis in the scriptures. He made his presence felt during Ramayana and Mahabharata, and is expected to return in future during the time of Kalki avatar, Lord Vishnu's 10th incarnation. ​

​Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar was a pivotal figure in Mysore's history. He ascended the throne at 28 in 1673 as the 14th Maharaja of Mysore, amidst the collapse of the Vijayanagara Empire. He seized the opportunity to establish Mysore as a dominant southern power.
Chikka Devaraja defeated the descendants of the Vijayanagara dynasty once and for all. While the Mughals and Nawabs struggled against the Marathas, ultimately paying tribute to them, Mysore stood as a solitary force capable of defeating the Marathas. Through relentless warfare against neighboring kingdoms and negotiations, Wodeyar significantly expanded Mysore's territory, laying the foundation for modern Karnataka. This led to Aurangzeb acknowledging him as the Emperor of the South. By the end of his reign in 1704, the kingdom of Mysore extended from Bangalore in the north, to Coimbatore & Salem in the south and Chikmagalur in the east.

After the slaying of Hiranyakashipu, the fury of Lord Narasimha was still unabated. Despite the praises showered on him by the devas, his uncontainable anger threatened to destroy the world around him. Brihaspati, the guru of the devas, invoked Goddess Lakshmi for help. Along with Prahalad, she calmed her consort, assuring him that his devotee Prahalad and the world were rescued from all evil. Narasimha calmed down on hearing her soothing words, and his appearance assumed a more serene form. Lakshmi Narasimha is hence venerated as representing peace.

As we exit the Mantapa, on the right side, a small water tank can be seen which can be mistaken for a yagna kunda (sacrificial fire pit). This water tank used to be filled with clean water which was later used for the abhisheka (cleansing or anointing rituals) of the deities. ​

As we step into the Mantapa, we see 3 Devakoshtas (mini shrines) on the roof.
​
On the extreme left, we see a depiction of Balakrishna floating on a banyan leaf sucking his toe. The blessed Sage Markendaya was able to see the great deluge at the beginning of the current yuga. In the dangerous torrents that encompassed the earth, he saw Krishna in the above form, floating above the torrents – described in Markendaya Purana. ​
In the center, we see a depiction of Lakshmi Narasimha, another avatar of Lord Vishnu, flanked by his dwarapalas (guards) - Jaya & Vijaya. ​
On the extreme right is a depiction of Lord Vishnu resting on the 5-headed Sheshanag, with his 2 consorts – Goddesses Sridevi and Bhudevi. As mentioned in the Vishnu Purana, Lord Brahma is described to have been created within a lotus that bloomed from the navel of Lord Vishnu – which is how it is depicted here.​
In between the devakoshtas, we can see smaller depictions of Lord Brahma on the left and Panchamukhi Anjaneya (5 faced Lord Hanuman). ​

Devarayana durga is a fortified hill situated about 15 kms east of the Tumkur Dist. of Karnataka at an altitude of 3940 ft. and about 73 kms from the Bengaluru city. Throughout history, it has been called by several names.​​
​Under the Hoysalas, the region was known as Anebiddasari or Anebiddajari meaning the steep where an elephant slipped and fell. The name comes from a Sthala purana, where it is described that a Gandharva (a celestial being) who took the form of a rogue elephant to create mischief in the region, slipped and fell while walking up the steep rock.
Under the Vijayanagaras, the hill was known as Karigiri.​ Later it was known as Jadakana durga, named after a local chieftain named Jadaka. Finally, in 1696 when the region was captured by Chikkadevaraya Wodeyar, the area came to be known as Devarayana Durga.​​
The hill is also famous for the two temples: Bhoga LaxmiNarasimhaswamy and Yoga Narasimhaswamy temples. Bhoga LaxmiNarasimha temple is said to be constructed by Kanthirava Narasaraja I. An inscription states that Krishnadevaraya Wodeyar III repaired the enclosure of this temple in 1858. ​​​​

Hiranyakashipu, the younger brother of Hiranyaksha, wanted to avenge the slaying of his brother at the hands of the earlier Varaha Avatara of Vishnu. Through years of penance, he sought the boon of immortality from Lord Brahma. Brahma declined it as against the laws of nature, but allowed the king to choose the terms of his death. Thinking it to be impossible, Hiranyakashipu asks that he not be killed by man or animal, neither inside or out, neither at day or night, neither on earth or the skies, and with a weapon neither living nor inanimate.
​
Empowered with the boon, Hiranyakashipu unleashes a reign of terror ; however, he was unable to convince his own son Prahlad to stop his devotion to Lord Vishnu. There were several failed attempts to get kill Prahlad killed, including burning by his sister Holika. It was then that Lord Vishnu decided to taken an incarnation to protect his devotee and to rid the universe of the evil.
Once when Prahlad claimed that his Lord Vishnu was everywhere, Hiranyakashipu challenged him to prove that the Lord was present in the pillar of his palace. He proceeded to smash the pillar with his gadha (mace). From therein emerged the ferocious Narasimha avatar of Vishnu - who took on a hybrid form of human (=Nara) & lion (=Simha). He proceeded to disembowel the king - with his claws, on the courtyard threshold of his palace, at dusk and with the king lying on his thighs – thus fulfilling all conditions of his choice of death. In his continuing rage, he ​drank Hirankashipu's blood and proceeded to garland himself with the entrails of the king.

In Valmiki's Ramayana, after Lord Rama slayed Ravana's brother Kumbhakarna and some of his sons, Indrajit - the eldest son of Ravana, entered the battlefield. With his powers, he makes himself invisible and rains down arrows from all directions injuring & killing many of the vanaras. He shot arrows blessed by Lord Brahma at Rama & Lakshmana, who surrendered to the powers of the weapons out of respect and fell unconscious.
Jambavan, considered to be the son of Brahma, sought out Hanuman and advised him to procure 4 important herbs - Mrita Sanjivani, Vishalya karani, Suvarna karani and Sandhani - from a mountain located between Rishabha & Kailasa peaks in the Himalayas for medicines.
Hanuman immediately leaped to the North, but could not identify the herbs. He then proceeded to uproot the entire mountain – called Dronagiri - & carried it to Lanka for Jambavan to pick out the herbs himself. With the medicines prepared using these herbs, Rama, Lakshmana & the fallen vanara army were revived and the war continued. ​

Some of the key elements in temple architecture:
Garba griha – is the Sanctum sanctorum where the main idol of the deity is housed and worshipped. The Garbagriha is the smallest chamber in a temple. The term comes from two Sanskrit words, Garba meaning womb and Griha meaning house.​
Antarala – Also known as Ardha mantapa (half mantapa), is a small antechamber connecting the Garbagriha to the Mantapa or pillared hall. ​
Navaranga - is a small squared hall with four pillars in the center which divides the hall into nine parts, hence the name. This hall was usually used for dancing and singing in front of the Lord. ​
Mukhamantapa – is a pillared hall constructed in front of the doorway of the temple. Devotees are expected to be seated in this mantapa for saying their prayers. ​
​Shikhara – also known as the Vimana - is the superstructure built above the Garbagriha. Shikhara is a Sanskrit term for mountain peak, particularly the peak of Mt. Kailash. ​
Sukhanasi – It is an extended part of the Shikhara sitting above the antarala, as an ornamental feature. It resembles a parrot's nose, hence the term. This element shows the evolution in temple architecture and can be found in temples built after 8th century - it can be seen here as well in front of the shikhara. ​​

Yoga Narasimha is a peaceful and meditative form of Lord Narasimha. Here he is represented with his legs crossed and supported by a restraining belt – the Yogapatta. This unique form of seating, with heels close to the bottom, is known as Utkutika asana.While his rear arms are carrying Vishnu's attributes of Sudarshana chakra (discus) and Shankha (conch), his front arms rest in a meditative pose. ​
It is said that it was in this form that Lord Narasimha taught his devotee Prahalada all the essentials of yoga.
