Sri Prasanna Venkata Narasimha Perumal is a Hindu temple in Saidapet, Chennai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
It was constructed during the 12th century,[1] but, according to historical records and inscriptions found within the temple, may consist of elements dating back more than 1000 years.
[2] When Vijayanagara monarchs like Krishnadeva Raya and Achyuta Raya who were devotees of Venkatesvara at Tirumala (Tirupati) ruled the region until the 16th century CE, many temples for Venkatesa Perumal were built in the Tamil region.
Also Sri Prasanna Venkata Narasimha Perumal and the Alvars and acharyas are taken in a procession inside the temple on the Thirunakshatrams which are special and specific to them.
Once a year, Sri Paarthasaarathy Perumal from Triplicane visits this temple in the month of February, during the Thotta Utsavam festival.
