About the temple:
The Kadhir Narasinga Perumal temple situated at Devarmalai about 35 Kms from Karur, Tamilnadu, India is said to be around 2500 years old and renovated from time to time by the erstwhile kingdoms of Naickers, Pandiyas etc. The names of rulers Krishnadeva Rayar, Kariappa Naicker and Sakkamma Naicker does deserve mention in the renovation of the temple from time to time about 700 years ago.
It is believed that the furious Lord Narasimha after the "Hiranya Samhara" was intercepted by the Devars and Maharishis at this place and hence was known as "Devarmari" formerly, now called Devarmalai. The Devars solaced him and Maharishis with the holy water obtained from the "Moksha theertham" which they created there.
The "Moksha theertham" is nearby the temple with idols of Sri Rama, Seetha Devi, Sri Lakshmana and Sri Hanuman in its walls. By taking both in Moksha theertham (also called as Brahma (or) Aakasa theertham) it is believed that all the Dosham related to Sani are cleared.
