Ahobilam is nestled amid the majestic Eastern Ghats and enveloped by thick greens of Nallamala forest. The River Bhavansini flowing through large and beautiful waterfalls provides the best of mother nature to the tourists. This place looks stunning when visited during the post-monsoon period, as I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since there are not many hotels in Ahobilam, I recommend staying in Nandyal, which is the closest city to Ahobilam. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/iaA8oBnE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hotel options in Nandyal<\/a><\/strong> are plentiful, depending on your budget, as it offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Things-to-Know-about-Ahobilam-Temple-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Things-to-Know-about-Ahobilam-Temple-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Things-to-Know-about-Ahobilam-Temple-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Things-to-Know-about-Ahobilam-Temple-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Things-to-Know-about-Ahobilam-Temple-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Content<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/#lower-ahobilam\" title=\"Lower Ahobilam\">Lower Ahobilam<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/#upper-ahobilam\" title=\"Upper Ahobilam\">Upper Ahobilam<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/#jwala-narasimha-swamy-temple\" title=\"Jwala Narasimha Swamy Temple\">Jwala Narasimha Swamy Temple<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/#things-to-know-about-ahobilam\" title=\"Things to know about Ahobilam\">Things to know about Ahobilam<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"lower-ahobilam\"><\/span>Lower Ahobilam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahobilam means beautiful caves. Nine beautiful temples devoted to 9 different avatars of Lord Narasimha Swamy divides Ahobilam in two parts. Each temple has its own uniqueness and beauty. Some of these temples are located in caves and hence the name Ahobilam. Lower Ahobilam houses two temples and Upper Ahobilam houses four. Two temples are inside the dense forest, and one in the middle. The entire structure of Ahobilam is an amalgam of work by various dynasties spread over 5 centuries. I would suggest hiring a knowledgable guid for safe and passable experience<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We first visited Yogananda and Chatravata Narasimha temple at Lower Ahobilam. Since there was heavy rainfall over the the past few weeks before our visit, we could not reach Pavana and Bhargava temple. They are deep inside the forest and the entrance for Jeeps near the Pavana and Bhargava temple were closed due to landslides and water logging. The vintage temple of Chatravata Narasimha Swamy was huge but authentic. Chatravata Narasimha Swamy is the tallest and the most handsome among all the 9 deities of Nava Narasimha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"upper-ahobilam\"><\/span>Upper Ahobilam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After Lower Ahobilam, we began our adventurous trek in Upper Ahobilam. Nature welcomed us with beautiful hues, the fading red tint of huge boulders and gushing Ahobilam waterfalls. One cannot resist making frequent stops to take pictures of this colorful natural canvas because of lush green landscapes. We had satvik but delicious lunch at Brahmana Nitya Annadana Satram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next step was Y<meta charset=\"utf-8\">eguva Ahobila Narasimha Swamy Temple. It is the earliest and the main temple among all the 9 Narasimha Swamy temples. The sanctum of the temple is inside a cave. The sculpture inside the temple beautifully depicts the scenario after Lord Narasimha had killed the demon Hiranyakashyapu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"jwala-narasimha-swamy-temple\"><\/span>Jwala Narasimha Swamy Temple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jwala Narasimha Swamy temple trek was so rip-roaring as we had to cross the river Bhavansini many times. High water current kept pushing us forward. We felt the adrenaline while navigating the rugged narrow paths, steep hills, and uneven sharp rocks wadding downstream. But, when you look around, the scenery is mesmerizing, breathtaking and worth every challenge nature presents you across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually we reached the final and most thrilling 450 steps to the Jwala Narasimha Swamy temple. We witnessed an exquisite view of the giant Ahobilam Waterfalls and Ugra Stambh. The roaring sound of Ahobilam Waterfalls kept the flow of excitement and energy as we were inching closer. Eventually, we reached the top. Now, we had to navigate the most ravishing passage to reach the temple. The 5-minute walk was through the passage was exhilarating as well memorable since, the entire passage was engulfed by Ahobilam Waterfall. We were completely drenched but also thrilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This temple has the idol of Lord Narasimha having 8 arms depicting the scene of killing Hiranyakashyapu. Our guide took us behind the temple amid the melodious sound of Ahobilam Waterfall. This was the sight to immerse yourself with mother nature due to its beautiful surrounding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discovered a lot with a lot left to explore in this this trip. Now, we need extra motivation to revisit the remaining adventurous trek to two Narasimha Swamy temples located deep inside the dense Ahobilam forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"things-to-know-about-ahobilam\"><\/span>Things to know about Ahobilam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Ahobilam is located at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Ahobilam,+Andhra+Pradesh\/@15.1156723,78.6706803,13z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x3bb4f4cf76edfb4b:0xb9b938e973f80428!8m2!3d15.1337667!4d78.6741657!5m1!1e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15.14834217405412, 78.67259492298692<\/a> inside the Nallamala Forest in the Eastern Ghats.<br><\/li><li>Please read my detailed travel story <a href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/story\/ahobilam-a-fusion-of-adventure-and-spirituality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ahobilam: A Fusion of Adventure and Spirituality<\/a>.
