Trinetra Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple is located at Shreya Nagar, Silver Town, near Gokul Road, Hubballi, in Dharwad district of Karnataka.
The presiding deity of this temple is Lord Narasimha, the powerful incarnation of Lord Vishnu, worshipped here as Trinetra Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. Goddess Lakshmi is seated beside him, representing compassion, prosperity, and divine grace. The deity reflects both ugra (fierce) and shanta (peaceful) forms, assuring protection as well as comfort to devotees.
The Trinetra (three-eyed) form of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha is a rare and powerful manifestation. The third eye symbolizes divine vision and constant vigilance, destroying fear, negative energies, and unseen obstacles. Devotees believe that worshipping this form brings courage, protection from injustice, mental peace, and balanced prosperity through the grace of Goddess Lakshmi.
The temple follows simple South Indian style architecture, designed to maintain a calm and devotional atmosphere. The sanctum houses the striking Trinetra Narasimha idol, which immediately draws the attention of devotees. The temple complex also includes shrines for Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganesha, Navagrahas, and other deities.
According to local belief, the temple was established following divine inspiration to install Lord Narasimha in the rare Trinetra form. The purpose was to create a sacred space where devotees could seek protection from fear, injustice, and mental distress. Over the years, many devotees have shared experiences of relief and inner strength after praying here, strengthening faith in the deity and increasing the temple’s spiritual importance.
As per the sthalapurana and devotional belief, Lord Narasimha manifested here in the Trinetra form to constantly watch over the world and protect righteous devotees. The three eyes are believed to represent past, present, and future, symbolizing that the Lord sees all suffering and responds at the right time.
It is believed that the Trinetra form emerged to calm fear and restore balance during troubled times, combining Narasimha’s fierce power with Lakshmi’s soothing grace. Devotees say that sincere prayers offered here help remove long-standing obstacles, inner fear, and negative influences. The sthalapurana emphasizes that this is a living kshetra, where divine grace is experienced through faith rather than ancient historical events.
Narasimha Jayanti is the most important festival celebrated at the temple, marked by special abhishekas, homas, and alankaras. Vaikunta Ekadashi, Saturdays, Tuesdays, and other auspicious Vaishnava days are also observed with special prayers. Daily morning and evening poojas are performed with devotion and discipline.
