Sri Varaha Narasimha Swamy Cave (Krodha Narasimha Swamy) is just few minutes away from the main temple, Sri Ahobileshwara Narasimha swamy in Upper Ahobilam. It houses 3 deities, one from them is Lord Varaha keeping Mother Earth on his noose with a lion tail on his back, representing the Narasimha lila to be part of the whole story.
The Cave was once in a very broken condition, and open for all creatures. Many times bears and snakes had come to take shelter here. Nowadays it has metal fence sealings, and the Mandapa is renovated. Also Bears in those area are more rare now, due to lot of prilgrims, noise and tension in their homeland.
One of the pillar is very unique, it shows on offering of ones head inside a fire sacrifice. Anyone of you know what is the story behind this carving (see pics please)???
