Editing Simhavishnu (section)

==Religious affiliation==
As with most Indian monarchs, Simhavishnu was also religious.

In the [[Tamil copper-plate inscriptions|Udayendiram copper plates]] of [[Nandivarman II]], Simhavishnu was a devotee of [[Vishnu]].{{fact|date=November 2022}} This is a noteworthy point as his son Mahendravarman I was a [[Jainism|Jaina]] who opposed all the Shaivite practices before being converted to [[Saivism|Shaivism]]. Simhavishnu's portrait can be seen in the stone engraving at the [[Varaha Cave Temple|Adivaraha Mandapam]], an elegant shrine at [[Mahabalipuram]]. The monuments and temples in Mahabalipuram are achievements of the Pallava dynasty, and they still exist in [[Tamil Nadu]]. Simhavishnu was succeeded by his son [[Mahendravarman I]].
