One such preceptor was Doddacharya of Chozhasimhapuram, now known as Sholingur, who lived nearly 470 years ago performing service to Lord Yoga Narasimhar. The current Doddacharya of the 23rd generation is dedicated to the cause of spreading the glory of Yoga Narasimhar through the website www.doddacharya.org

Fantastic place to live. Though the climate is hot, people are too good here... Nice places to visit in all the four directions from Sholinghur (Thiruthani, Chittoor, Arcot and Arkonam are the major towns in 4 directions of Sholinghur).

Sholinghur is a good place to live, though the climate is too harsh often. Apart from temples, the surrounding area is an excellent place to explore. If you are really adventurous you can even go for trekking-like venture to the surrounding hills. They are really good to see. I remember the lake used to overflow but finding water in the lake these days is next to impossible. Still the town of Sholinghur is lush and green.
