context_page_description: Abaya Hastha Swayambu Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple is a holy Hindu religious site in the village of Agaram Agraharam in Hosur taluk of Krishnagiri district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located 15 km from Hosur on Rayakotta Road and 65 km from Bangalore.
  Hosur is a rapidly growing industrial hub as well as a famous pilgrimage centre, and is also known as Dakshina Kashi, since the town is surrounded by the three hills of Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma, which are not seen anywhere else in India.
context_section_description: During 1998, Mr. Rama Krishna, a small shop owner from Bangalore  and his friends who were developing a 2.75 acres residential layout near Agaram village, faced obstacles in selling a part of land. During the construction of the compound, a worker experienced feelings believed to be spiritually caused. They approached many astrologers and pandits to determine the cause, and were told that they were answers from Lord Lakshmi Narasimha.
  Since Mr. Rama Krishna Guptha was  in his business and unaware of Poojas to be performed, he decided to perform Poojas or donate the land to someone who can perform them. While their group of friends were trying to move a heavy spiritual object, the chains and belt fell apart and stood exactly at 90 degree angles facing the center of the property. Again, the pandits told that the event was caused by Lord Narasimha Swamy's presence.
  As construction continued, a severe water drought occurred, and no water trucks were able to deliver any supplies. So they decided to put a borewell where it went till 850 feet and no water was found and was a subsequent failure. Then they prayed Lord Narasimha Swamy as per advice of their Guru ji Shri Kodandarama Swamy and decided to build a small water sump on the deva moola of the temple premises, but for surprise they found water gushing at 7 feet level and till today the water has been utilized by the entire villagers as there was no water there.
  There were many instances of miracles happening including a big serpent guarding the temple premises every day where it will not allow any ladies entering the temple during their mensuration periods . Also, 32 elephants came to the temple and destroyed an illegal compound of
  the neighbor who produced disturbances to the temple trustees where you can see the compound wall now is also a miracle as they have never seen elephants in that area.
  Currently a portion of the land where swamy is situated has been donated to Ahobila Mutt and still it is under the control of the mutt  where they decided to build the temple shortly .
