There are separate shrines for Lakshmi as Kanakavalli and Andal and unusually, they both are facing the opposite direction to that of Vishnu.

[citation needed] Sage Vasishtha who was cursed by King Nimi, approached his father Brahma and mother Sarasvati and sought their help.

Brahma and Sarasvati asked him to proceed to Singirikudi and do penance propitiating Vishnu as Narasimha.

[4] On Vishnu as Narashima's right side Hiranyakashipu's son Prahalada, Sage Vasishta and God Shukra are present.

It appears that such a representation of Vishnu as Narasimha disemboweling and killing Hiranyakashipu is there in only two places in the Indian Subcontinent, with the other being in Rajasthan.
