Yoga Narasimhar Velachery is a small temple with entrances from east and west. The temple and the main deity face west and the Rajagopuram on the western entrance is 3 tiered. The original temple had been damaged vastly and the renovation work had been going on for several years which was completed in 2016. A banyan tree is found with Nagars on the right side of the Dwajasthambam. The shrine consists of the Sanctum, Arthamandapam, and Mahamandapam. The main deity Yoga Narasimhar is a large idol and is in sitting posture facing west. There are several depictions of Narasimha around the outer walls of the sanctum sanctorum. Prahalada (upon whose prayers the lord took Narasimha Avatar to kill his Asura father Hiranyakashipu) is seen in front of the main deity instead of the usual Garuda. In the newly constructed outer walls of the sanctum sanctorum you can see the nine forms of Narasimha (Ahobila, Jwala, Malola, Krodha, Kaaranja, Bhargava, Yoga, Chatravada and Paavana Narasimhas). In the outer niches of the sanctum sanctorum are Matsya Avatar, Lakshmi Narasimha, Lakshmi Varaha and Lakshmi Narayana.
