Ahobilam is a town and religious place in the Allagadda mandal of the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It is surrounded by the Eastern Ghats' scenic hills, which include various mountain peaks and canyons. Many generations of kings from the Cholas, Chalukyas, and Vijayanagara kingdoms have revered this massive old temple.

Om Namo Lakshmi Narasimha Swamine Namaha The demon king Hiranyakashyapu who was a Lord Vishnu hater turned extremely troublesome to his own son ‘Prahllada’. As Prahallada was a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu and felt his presence everywhere he tried to kill his son in various ways such as throwing him in the sea, pushing him from the hilltop, tying him in a room full of snakes, leaving him stamped by a drugged elephant, etc. But Lord Vishnu saved him every time. Once Prahallada advises and challenges his father regarding Lord Vishnu’s existence everywhere across the infinite universe, in every smallest particle of all living and nonliving things. Hearing this Hiranyakashipu points out to a lifeless pillar and asks his son if his Lord Vishnu is inside this dummy pillar. Prahllad says, yes he surely is. Hiranyakashipu then says if so I will kick this pillar and let me see if your Vishnu actually comes out or no. Also says to Prahllad that in case your Lord does not come out I will kill you by chopping off your head. The calm and composed Prahllad as usual starts praying to the Lord. It was then the epic moment where the supreme God with rambunctious sound, tremendous aggravation, and barbarous exasperation bulldozes the pillar into pieces sounding like vociferous thundering and takes the avatar of man and lion and tears to open Hiranyakashipu with his lion nails and kills him. Lord Narashimha owns a human torso and lower body, with a lion head, face and claws absolutely terrorizing. This very place where Lord Narasimha saved Prahllada and killed Hiranyakashipu is Ahobalim. And this very temple is the ‘Ahobila Narasimha Swamy Temple’ which is natural, the self-emerged idol of Lord Narasimha himself.

It was an amazing experience. The place was very scenic and the weather was really nice. The temple visits were surreal. Must visit place if you're nearby.

Peaceful. Though this temple is not part of nava narashimar temple, this temple has beautiful sculptures and maintained properly. We went during marghazhi (December) month and happened to see perumal urchavam.

Beutiful temple ,positivity of diety unexplainable being swati star wonderfully decorated n utsavam

Went there from Mantralaya.4 hours drive.good roads.Hotels available for stay Malola ,AP tourism and other options.Veg Udupi hotel and other options for food. There are 9 temples to be seen. Two of them in forest..you need to hire a jeep @3500 for seven people.The road is pretty bad and people with back pain should be careful. Two of them is about 5 mins drive.These are all at ground level. Then you can proceed to Upper Ahobilam which is 8 kms drive.Here you can see two temples with little effort. For the rest its upto your capabilities as it needs trek and climb. Additionally there is the Laksmi Narasimha temple near to the hotel. Returning back to Bangalore via Kadiri the road is not good but manageable atleast for the initial 50 kms. Must visit place.Do some walking preparation before you go there so that you can cover all temples.

Holy place . Entrance of the temple was very spacious with both side double road. By the side of main deity Goddess Godadevi temple was awesome. Famous for Dhanurmasa poojas. They distribute Teertham, Chatari & various Prasadams in decent way. But be careful with monkeys in temple premises.

Very Old and famous Lakshmi Narasimha Swami Temple Recently renovation works are started at this Temple Looking good after the changes

Nice Place to visit... Never miss location.. If you go by car then take some banana with you so that you can feed monkeys by road.. Car's never allowed till the top on weekends.. Free bus available from car parking area.. There are 5/6 temples to visit upper side.. Best part is natural scenery.. Lower side also Temple available ...

Unbelievable temple. The architecture of the temple in typical vijayanagara style is mind blowing. As a matter of fact, I would rate this temple amongst the top. Cameras allowed everywhere except main garbagriha. If you love your culture and civilization and love to visit our work of art, this temple is a must visit.

Hello friends 👋 it is an most powerful god temple Laxmi Narasimha Swamy temple . The temple was located on hills it is dangerous to go on night to the temple because of it was a jungle area and also the temple will close early also at night 8 pm so we are not allowed after the closing time so that's it bye 🙂...

One of the best temple in south and great history for this place.

The temple is very good and so well constructed.... The temple is vast and surrounded by a small park over there.... The temple is dedicated to Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy.... This temple is ancient one and reconstruction has done in 1990's by late prime minister P.V.Narasimha rao... There are few local shops and a small hotel in temple premises... On jatara times (fair festival) there will be a huge crowd... Normal there will be a bit crowded and temple will be closed in afternoon so the rush will be... Overall the temple and the architecture is well maintained... Nice place to vist with family....

It's the best place to Nature Lovers, If you wanna go for a picnic with family or friends you sure will back from Ahobilam with lot of happy memories along with Laxmi Narasimha swamy blessings....

Was blessed to visit the Nava Narasimha temples. It is a must visit place which is divine and spiritual adventurous pilgrimage. Advised to visit when the health is in good shape.

Very blessed temple of Sri Narsimha Swami on the top of the hill with mesmerizing view of mountain and a traditional South Indian meal in the form of prasadam. The idol of Narsimha Swami is worth darshanam and to seek the blessings from .

A 16th century Architectural marvel. Must visit if you come to Cuddapah.

Ahobilam! What a wonderful place! Lord Lakshmi Narashima, graces from center of the town showing the path for the Nava Narashima Kshetras! Being restored from almost ruined, the temples have a super facelift!by TVS group! A must visit place for all Narashima devotees and anyone.

Plan early in the morning so that we can cover nava narasimha swamy temples 🙏🏻 We went in the afternoon and covered around 5 temples . Jwala Narasimha Swamy temple is slightly far so planning early in the morning will be better 😊

Lord lakshmi Narasimha and amruthavalli Devi resides here. Very pleasent to see them. Good experience.

There are 9 types of Ahobilam temples as this one is lower one which we call Diguva Ahobilam temple. Architecture is simply awesome but it need some development to the temple

Temple maintenance is good, however entrance charge for own vehicle is 150/- which is high. Prasadam laddu is fresh and tasty.

Its a beautiful devotional place having ancient architecture and forest scenery.

very good place nava narashimha templs in the places free annadhan and chep and best rooms good devotional places
