9 shrines of Lord Narasimha in Ahobilam





Ahobilam is divided into two places, lower and upper Ahobilam, were all the 9 temples of Lord Narasimha are situated. In Lower Ahobilam we can find 3 temples and in Upper Ahobilam you can find 6 Temples. We will cover each temple and give some background infos if possible. The Main temple of Lord Narasimha is in Upper Ahobilam, were Lord Narasimha revealed him self after a prayer request of Garuda to give Him Darshana in His samhara (destroying the evil) Rupa (Form). Here on this pictures you can see one of the two mountains, were Garuda did penance. He is even formed like a Garuda, therefor it is called Garudadri. On that mountain you find 3 temples (ahobileshwara, Karanja Narasimha and Pavana Narasimha). The other side you have the Vedadri mountain. There you find 3 temples as well (Varaha Narasimha, Malola Narasimha, Yoga Narasimha cave, Jwala Narasimha and Ugra stambha mountain).
