Bhargava Narasimha Temple Ahobilam






After leaving the mainroad from lower ahobilam, one has to go left inside the forest area to find this Temple of Lord Narasimha, Sri Bhargava Narasimha Swamy. Its around 3km from the main temple Prahlad Varada Narasimha, and reachable per foot (walking distance around 1/2 hour)
The temple is on a small hillock, below the ancient tank where it said Bhargava Rishi (Parashurama!) has done some tapasya here to get the Darshan of Narasimha in his Samhara Rupa (killing the demon)! After some years Lord Narasimha appeared to Him and blessed him with this ancient deity. That deity is worshipped mainly by pilgrims, not by a regular worship from a priest. The utsava Deity (pancaloham movable deity made from 5 metals) of Bhargava Narasimha Swamy is housed inside the Main temple Prahlad Narasimha Swamy. A very calm and peaceful place, and perfect for Narasimha Japa !
