Nrisingha Temple, Nadia, is an old Narasimha temple situated at Thakurtala, Nrisinghapally, beside Nabadwip-Krishnagar road in Nadia district, in the Indian state of West Bengal.[1]
History
[edit]There is a myth that this temple existed right from the time of Satya Yuga. Lord Narasimha came here to wash the blood from his claws after killing Hiranyakasipu. A pond is situated beside the temple. According to mythology this pond was the part of the Mandakini River. Since then this place was known as Narasimha Kshetra or Nrisinghapally.[2][3] Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his associate Jeev Goswami often came to this temple.[4]
Krishnachandra Roy, King of Krishnanagar helped to establish the Shrine of Narasimha.[5] The temple was reconstructed in 1896 by Raja Khistish Chandra Roy of Krishnagar.[6][7]
