History

There is a history that this temple existed right from the time of Satya Yuga. Lord Narasimha came here to wash the blood from his claws after killing Hiranyakasipu. A pond is situated beside the temple. According to history this pond was the part of the Mandakini River. Since then this place was known as Narasimha Kshetra or Nrisinghapally. ^{[2] [3]} Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his associate Jeev Goswami often came to this temple. ^[4]

Krishnachandra Roy, King of Krishnanagar helped to establish the Shrine of Narasimha. ^[5] The temple was reconstructed in 1896 by Raja Khistish Chandra Roy of Krishnagar. ^{[6] [7]}
