Ugra Ahobileswara Narasimha Swamy / Upper Ahobilam part 2





The Ahobileshwara Narasimha Temple of Upper Ahobilam is placed between Garudadri- and Vedadri Mountain, and pilgrims who wanted to visit the other temples behind this temple had to go trough this temple once. Nowadays a walkpath was made around, as a bridge to cross the river who passes next to the temple. That river spring from the kamadalu of Lord Brahma, after trying to passify Lord Narasimhas Anger (to cool him, so to say). Inside Ahobileshwara Narasimha Swamy temple you can find also a very ancient kitchen and some nice mandapas. In festival time Chenchus (tribes) who are very devoted to Lord Narasimha, do their kind of worship to him (cracking coconuts on their own head, carrying burning camphor on the bare hands for a very long time and offer it to the Gopuram, the representive of the Lord etc...).
