Summary

Description
English: The Kattu Narasimhaperumal Temple is a Hindu temple situated in the suburb of Srirangam in Tiruchirappalli, India. It is also known as Azhagiya Singar temple and is situated at a distance of 1 kilometre from the Srirangam railway station.

The temple is also called traditionally as "Ekaanthanthaman koil" meaning "calm and quiet ambiance" temple. It is widely believed that the presiding deity grants boons to devotees and is aptly called "Varaprasaaadhi" (boon giver).

The temple was built by the Pandyan King Vallabadevan who was a devotee of Sri Periazhwar in the ninth century CE.

However as per legend and folklore the temple predates the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam and is one of the oldest temples in the city. Some attribute the temple to be of 5th century CE.
