'''Singirikudi''' or '''Singarakudi''' is a [[revenue village]] in [[Cuddalore district]] of [[Tamil Nadu]], India.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://tnmaps.tn.nic.in/pr_villages.php?dc=18&tlkname=Cuddalore&region=0002&lvl=taluk&size=1200 | title=Cuddalore taluk Map, Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu | access-date=10 October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url= http://tnmaps.tn.nic.in/vill.php?dcode=18&centcode=0002&tlkname=Cuddalore | title=List of revenue villages in Cuddalore taluk, Tamil Nadu | access-date=10 October 2013}}</ref>

This is one of the Nava-Narasimhar temples of [[Tamil Nadu]] which are popular for Lord [[Narasimha]] worship.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://srinarasimhakutumbam.org/temples/divya-kshetra/singirikudi|title = Singirikudi}}</ref> Also, this is one of the 3 temples along with [[Poovarasankuppam]] and [[Parikkal]] which are being worshipped on the same day by the devotees. The [[Narasimha]]r is in Ugra posture killing the demon [[Hiranyakasipu|Hiranya Kasibu]] on His lap. There are separate shrines for Thayar (Kanakavalli) and Andal and unusually, they both are facing the opposite direction to that of Lord.

== Mythology ==

Sage Vasishta who was cursed by King Nimi Chakravarthy, approached his father Brahma and sought his help. Brahma asked him to proceed to Singarkudi and do penance propitiating Narasimha. The sage went to Singarkudi and attained salvation through penance. God Narasimha was pleased with his devotion gave darshan to him. This place is called Singarkudi as the presiding deity is Singaperumal or Narasimha. The Lord has 16 hands and looks ferocious. The Lord's birth star Swathi is celebrated on a grand scale. This is a prarthana sthala.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://anudinam.org/2013/10/30/singirikudi-sri-lakshmi-narasimha-swami-temple/|title=Singirikudi Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple|date=5 January 2020}}</ref>

== Temple ==
On His right side Hiranya's son Prahalad, Sages Sukracharyas and Vasishta are represented. On His left side Hiranyas wife Neelavathy is represented. It appears that such a representation of the deity is there in only two places in India the other being in Rajasthan.<ref>{{Cite book|title="Singarkudi Temple"|publisher=Published by Temple authorities|year=2004}}</ref>
