Namagiri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Namagiri (Sri Namagiri Lakshmi) is 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 worship her as a consort of Narasimha, an avatar (incarnation) of the deity, Vishnu.

Namagiri was the mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan's family deity.
