[Series: Historical Continuity of the Siddha Cult in Tamilnadu].

Fig. 185: This is a painting of a Sadhaka seated in a siddhasana depicting the satcakras of the human body as indicated earlier in Fig. 139. It is found (in 2009) at the yogasala near the Bala Narasimha temple, on the way to the Chatravada Narasimha temple at Lower Ahobilam. But by 2012, this yogasala was demolished and a new shrine for Navagraha Narasimha was constructed.
