The sholingur has consists three hill temple  it almost  looks like all in one line at different hill tops with 3km vicinity and one land temple called as Ore thirukoil which accommodate Baktosita perumal and Adikesa perumal vigras.This temple is one of the 108 Divya desam temples of  Vaisnavas. In this temple Namalwar, Thirumangaialwar and Peyalwar sang the devotional rhymes.

 In big hill Yoga narasimar and small hill Anjaneyar temple located respectively, at the third hill at little far the lord Subramanian temple is there on the way from  sholingur and arakonam route.

These temples can be easily approachable either from arokonam or shoilngur railway station.While going  I had catch Jolarpet- Arakonam  passenger and alight at sholingur about 8.30 am. from here by share auto 12km to kondapalayalam foothills where 30 ft anjaneyar welcomes you adjacent to the Main road and behind anjaneyar statue Bramaha theertham or thakan kulam is there with fully fenced around not able to enter inside the water from the pond is pumped into barrel that can be utilized for your bath or rinsing of hand and leg. People do their head shave offering here, than precede to main temple from here 2km to yoga Narasimar temple. 

Also I saw the people throwing coins in the tank, which is also observed in current days. Earlier in those days the coins were made of metals like gold, silver, copper and brass, the water absorbs some properties of its and added value. These days the coins are made of stainless steel. Which will become rust over the period? In following the rituals, one should understand the context and reasons behind the activities and follow the appropriate one.

 The sholingur and its adjacent economy are based on agriculture hence you can find beautiful cultivation land and mango trees on the way accompany by the hills at background. For breakfast better choice is your own arrangement  since good hotels not on the way only katpadi railway station is somewhat reasonable station where you can get  your Tiffin or house made idly sold by vendors in train is a alternative choice, if you reach earlier to sholingur you can visit Lakshmi narasimar temple nearby Bus stand than have food in Balaji bhavan hotel adjacent  to bus stand here food ok,  and surrounding environment is moderate this is the only choice other hotels not good. From here 4 km to Yoga Narasimar temple you can take auto or can walk.

Upon claiming all steps the Main Gopuram welcomes  you at hill top after crossing at Flag post make your prayer than Amirthavalli thayar sanctrum make your offerings than finally precede to Yoga Narasimar sanctrum. The unique of this temple is that Lord Yoga Narasimha (big deity) on the hill-top is seated in a yoga posture with Salagrama Hara (necklace) and Chaturbuja (four arms). He holds Sanka (conch) and Chakra (discus) on two arms. The other two arms signify a meditative posture. The Narasimha opens his eyes from his meditation during the Tamil month of Karthigai, which falls on November-December months, and blesses his devotees. Hence, he has delegated his authority to Goddess Amirtha Valli thayar to grants instantly boons to the devotees who come to this temple.

 In this santrum at the entrance  Karuda alwar facing towards Yoga Narasimar welcomes you,just atitsbehind theVamadevar, vasistar, katyabur,atheri, jamatkani, gouthamarand baratwajar saints statur were locatedfacing towards gods.Upon these saints request the Lord Narasimar shown his darsan here for a moment(kadigai) hence this place has been called as Kadigachalam.This name has been called as Thirukadigai by Alwars, Cholasimapuram by achariyas, The sivets called as Chola linga puram finally the present name has been called as Solingapuran or sholingur.

,It is believed that Indirathuyman, the King of North Madurai killed the asura Nikumban and saved the region and he helped the rishis and bhaktas, he was given the Vajrayudham by Indiran (Weapon of Indiran). The Lord Yoga Narasimhar asked Anjaneyar to help him and after the asura was killed, Anjaneyar was asked to give darsan in this yoga posture and to give boons to his devotees,. Sacred Thirumanjanam and poojas are performed for Lord Anjaneyar on all Sundays due to the killing of the asura took place on a Sunday.

Upon completion of my pilgrimage  I had chosen Sholingur to Arakonam route which is 27KM stretch and took almost 45 miniutes by bus to reach Arakonam  bus junction, from here local auto take you to arakonam railway station for Rs.20 by sharing. There are Government Buses and Private buses too Available for Arakonam,  they charge around Rs 17/- per ticket from sholingur,  unless you ask they won’t give tickets (In india most of the rural places this practice you can find). From  Arakonam to Chennai lot of local as well as fast trains available to Chennai it is just 60km distance from here.
