TIRUKKADIGAI (Sholingapuram)
 
This Divya desam is located on Chennai Katpadi railroad closer to Arkonam. Can also be reached by read from Tiruttani. Sholingapuram gained its name as a Chola king found a lingam at this place.
 
There are three shrines one at the foot of the hill, another on a small hillock, and one on a steep hill. The moolavar in the base temple is Bhakthavatsala perumal and the Thayar Amritavalli. The theertham is Amritha Theertham and the Vimanam Simhagoshtakriti Vimanam.
 
It is believed that worship at this shetram for one ?kadigai? ? 24 minutes ? gives salvation. The legend has it that Vishwamitra is supposed to have obtained the title Brahmarishi when he worshipped Lord Narasimha at this shetram for one kadigai. 
 
The temple on the hillock has a shrine for Yoga Anjaneya with four arms holding sanku and chakra.  On the Hill temple is Yoga Narasimhar in a seated posture and there is a separate shrine for Thayar.
Azhwar mangalaasaasanam:
Tirumangai Azhwar ? 1731, 1736, 2673
Peyayazhwar ? 2342 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam). Pilgrims flock to this temple during the Tamil month of Karthigai, and in particular to get themselves ward off the effect of evil spirits.
