Ahobilam, nestled amidst the rugged Eastern Ghats in Andhra Pradesh, is one of the most revered centers of Vaishnavism in India. Dedicated to Lord Narasimha, the fierce half-lion, half-man incarnation of Lord Vishnu, this sacred pilgrimage site is believed to be the very place where the Lord appeared to protect His devotee, Prahlada, and to destroy the demon king Hiranyakashipu.
The temple complex is unique in its spiritual grandeur as it comprises the Nava Narasimha temples—nine shrines dedicated to different manifestations of Lord Narasimha. Together, they represent the boundless compassion, ferocity, and divine energy of the Lord.
he temples follow the Sri Vaishnava tradition, with elaborate daily rituals including Suprabhata Seva, Alankara, Archana, and Arati. Major festivals celebrated here include:
Swati is the avatara nakshatra (birth star) of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha, the fierce and compassionate incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
