Built in the 18th century and located in Ponda, the temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his consort, Goddess Laxmi. Like many others, the deities were also moved from the Old Conquests area in the 16th century.
The landscape of the temple adds to its attraction. The paintings and carvings in the temple chowka, depicting Sri Narasimha Parana, axe worth seeing.
There is a tank in the temple compound. Fringed with coconut palms, the ancient tank is worth seeing. Unfortunately, entry to the temple is restricted to believers and devotees. However, the priest sometimes allows non-believers to have a darshan (look). There is a palkhi (palanquin) of Sri Laxmi Narasimha that can be seen on every Shukla Chaturdashi.
Timings: 7am to 8:30pm. Location: Nagueshi in Velinga.
Main Zatras: Manguirish Zatra in mid-February, Sri Ramanavami and Navaratri.
