Lakshmi Narasimha Temple is located near the corridor of Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain. The shrine is dedicated Narasimha Avatar of Lord Vishnu. The
story of Lakshmi Narasimha Temple in Mahakaleshwar Temple is found in the Skanda
Purana.
As per Skanda Purana, the anger of Narasimha did not end
with slaying of demon Hiranyakashipu.
Shiva then advised Narasimha to visit the spot where Mahakaleshwar Shivling is located in Mahakaal Vana (present day Ujjain). Narasimha visited the spot and got rid of his anger.
