Namagiri (Sri Namagiri Lakshmi) is a name of a Hindu goddess worshipped especially in the Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu state in Southern India. The name "Namagiri" translated from Sanskrit into Tamil sounds like "Namakkal". Her devotees believe that she is a consort of the Lion God Narasimha, Lord Vishnu's fourth incarnation.
