chenchu tribes are Narasimha bhaktas

The locals of Ahobilam Area are mostly poor but very strong bhaktas of Lord Narasimha. Recently from the Ahobilam Math for the locals was a new practice installed for the devotion and prosperity of all bhaktas. It is done for 40 days, Narasimha Mantra are the daily food* and other vratas are followed. They walk (mostly barefoot) for 30 days along with the Utsava of Prahlad Narasimha (lower Ahobilam procession deity), and on the beginning get Narasimha Diksha* (initation into the Narasimha Bhakti), wear only yellow cloth, and do a kind of vrata (vow). It is very similar to the ayyappa or devi utsava in december/january in India. But more of a sattvic style, as meateating, alcohol, gambling and other bad activities are forbitten. We have to do such thing here in germany too...!
