The temple's priests perform it with up to four names and your gotra in the sankalp. A temple receipt or WhatsApp confirmation tells you when the archana has been offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Archana?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an archana, the priest chants a deity's names, most often the 108 names or ashtottara. With every name comes an offering of flowers or kumkum. It is the seva South Indian temples offer more than any other. Because the devotee's name, gotra and nakshatra (birth star) are said in the sankalp, the archana is offered on their behalf. At Simhachalam the names are offered to Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha, a form of Vishnu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy devotees book it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer for the protection of the family, offered to Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha in faith\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA prayer before an exam, a journey, an interview or a new venture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlessings on a birthday or anniversary, with the person's birth star in the sankalp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevotion and thanksgiving to Vishnu in his combined Varaha and Narasimha form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevotees traditionally offer an archana on the deity's weekly day, on a birthday by birth star or on a temple festival day. Saturdays and Ekadasi are also good days to book. Chandanotsavam, when the deity's true form is seen, is a temple festival and not a seva that can be booked. Once you book, the date is confirmed with you on WhatsApp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout Simhachalam Temple\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Temple stands on Simhachalam hill near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Its deity unites two forms of Vishnu, Varaha and Narasimha. Through the year the image is covered in sandal paste, and its true form is seen only at Chandanotsavam, in spring. An archana here lets devotees honour this combined form of Vishnu, with their own names spoken in the sankalp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat this booking covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaraha Lakshmi Narasimha Archana at Simhachalam Temple, booked in your name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSankalp with your name and gotra, and birth star if you share it, for up to four names\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemple receipt or confirmation on WhatsApp after the puja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdd-ons for this booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNitya Kalyanam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnadanam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose any of these when you book, or ask our team on WhatsApp. Each add-on is offered in your name, on dates confirmed with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlease note\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChandanotsavam is a temple festival and is not offered as a seva.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe date, the number of names and whether the seva can be done without you are confirmed with you on WhatsApp before your booking is processed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo private video of the ritual is promised; photos are shared only where the temple allows them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrasad is not sent to your address.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Vishnu \u0026amp; Krishna pujas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/satyanarayana-vratham-veera-venkata-satyanarayana-swamy-temple-annavaram\"\u003eSatyanarayana Vratham — Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Temple, Annavaram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/paduka-abhishekam-sripada-srivallabha-mahasamsthanam-pithapuram\"\u003ePaduka Abhishekam — Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam, Pithapuram\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/kn\/products\/kurmanatha-archana-srikurmam-temple\"\u003eKurmanatha Archana — Srikurmam Temple\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore booking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShare the name(s) and gotra when you book.
