Who is Narayana ? An Avatar of Hindu God Vishnu, To whom this Temple is dedicated.
A Long time ago, It is believed a Terrible Demon aquired 2 impossible wishes from the Gods - To have 1000 Invisible armors protecting him from all Physical and Magical abilities and his other wish - To be killed only by a Sage who meditated and fought with him at the same time. He thoght of this as an impossible wish and thought he was immortal and had fooled the Gods, Since no one can do battle and meditate at the same time.
This impossible wish made him think he was the Greatest Being in the Universe and went on to terrify, Steal, Plunder and opress everyone, As no one could stop him including the many Demi Gods that ruled over many realms of the Universe beyond Earth. So to slay him, Vishnu came to Earth in the form of Twin Avatar - Nara and Narayana. These 2 brothers lived as one Being.
Nara and Narayana were accomplished teenagers, who had acquired great abilities of War and Wisdom. One day they finally challenged this demon and while Nara meditated, Narayana fought with the demon, peeling away his invincible armors one by one. They fought for years and eventually, defeated him.
Through this story, We come to know that Evil can never prevail and will be vanquished eventually, And the symbolk of that was Nara and Narayana, The Twin Teenage Avatars of Vishmu, Who were Warrior Monks. This Temple is dedicated to one of the Tiwns - Narayana.
