Malola Narasimha swamy





Malola Narasimha Swamy is the main utsava Deity who is travelling along with the Ahobilam Jeeyar nowadays. The swamy ordered to renovate all the 9 temples of Narasimha here in Ahobilam. The Utsava Deity of Malola was handed down from Lord Narasimha himself to the first Jeeyar (sannyasi) of the Math, to go on travelling and visit all mankind. That tradition is even carried on today. The temple was totally reconstructed, and also a new Vigraha of Narasimha was installed along with the Old one. It lies around 3 km away from the maintemple in upper ahobilam, on the Vedadri mountain. Not far from here you can visit the school of Prahlada and the Yoga Narasimha Cave.
