Hi,
I had visited a gr8 place for tricking along with my friends and family members a place called Ahobilam is located in Karnool district of Andhra Pradesh in the hills of the Eastern Ghats, about 400 KM northwest of Chennai. The temple consists of nine shrines to Lord Nrisimha located around a 5 KM circle. In addition to the nine shrines, there is a temple for Prahaladavarada Varadhan in the foothills of the mountain. Due to security reasons and the difficulty in performing daily worship, many of the utsava vigrahas of the nine shrines are kept in this temple.
Garuda wished for a vision of Lord Nrisimha in the form of the Avathara. To fulfill his wish, the Lord settled in the hills around Ahobilam in the midst of dense forests in nine different forms. For this reason this hill came to be known as Garudadri, Garudachalam, and Garudasailam.
Ahobilam is the place where the Lord killed Hiranyakasipu and saved Prahalada. Mahalakshmi took avathar as Senjulakshmi among the Senju, tribal hunters of the hills, and married the Lord.
Sri Ahobila Mutham, one of the most important Sri Vaishnava religious institutions in India, was established by Sri Athivan Satakopan at the instructions of Lord Lakshmi Nrisimha of Ahobilam. In fact, the utsava moorthy of the Malola Nrisimha temple, one of the nine shrines of Ahobilam, is the presiding deity of Sri Ahobila Mutham. Sri Malolan accompanies Srimad Azhagiya Singar, the spiritual and titular head of Sri Ahobila Mutham, on his travels.
My friend is a regular visitor to this place. This time when he went their I am also accompanied him along with family we felt from Bangalore on Friday night around 8:30 by car and reached their by the next day morning around 5:15 am he had made arrangements for the guest house and we went their boarded the roam and took rest for a hr or so and got freshed up went for out at round 8:30 or so there I was socked to see so many people with bald head young guys girls old people and many other getting their head shaved I was very happy seeing that I asked my friend to take me and my family members to the kalyanakata which is name kept her also for head shave…which is on the hill top which is called as Upper Ahobilam.
