Between Lower and Upper Ahobilam around 3 km from Lower Ahobilam, you can find close to each other two Narasimha temples. One is Chatravata Narasimha and Yogananda Narasimha Swamy.
Chatravata Narasimha is a very unique Deity, and only seen in Ahobilam. He had blessed two Gandarvas for celestial voice, after they have lost the ability of singing. His beautiful smile is the very uniqueness of this Deity, and He is nicely taken care by some archaka daily. The temple is renovated and has even a wall around. The Tree who had given shadow once upon a time, is no more. But it is clean and nicely maintained.
Yogananda Narasimha Swamy is worshipped in a small Shrine, next to a newly built 64 Gods temple, were all 9 forms of Lord Narasimha are connected to the 9 Planets (Navagrahas), and many more deities you will see there.
But the Yogananda Narasimha Swamy is the oldest Temple in this area, and he has a special aura around him.
The picture you see are the landscape of lower Ahobilam, hot and dry as usual in Andhra Pradesh (chilipakora!).
