Standing at right angles to this temple is another smaller one dedicated to Narasimha. Like many Vaiṣṇava temples it stands north and south and faces north. Set up in the shrine is a large image of Narasimha, while a similar image adorns the architrave above the entrance to the antechamber, flanked on either side by Viṣṇu and Garuḍa. On the block above the shrine door is Gaja-Lakṣmī.
