Kattiyam

The glory of Lord Narasimhar's beauty is enshrined in a series of songs that are sung on special occasions. They are a set of verses that describe the Lord's body, His grace, His powers and His protective nature. Every Friday and on the days of ascent of the Lord's star (Swathi) a sacred ceremony is performed at the Big Hill Temple. After the ceremony, the verses are sung by the Dhoddacharya.

Likewise on every Sunday a sacred ceremony is performed for Anjaneyar at the Small Hill.

The three Alwars of the 10th century have sung praises of the Lord Yoga Narasimhar, in separate instances. These songs are also called pasurams, and they describe the infinite strength and grace of the Lord.

Every morning the Lord is awaked by a Suprabhatam, songs that describe His glory.
