Nava Narasimha, Ahobilam — Lord Narasimha

• Narasimha:

- The name Ahobilam is derived from two different events.
-- First, the Devas seeing Lord Narasimha slaying Hiranyakashipu exclaimed in wonder "Aho Balam" (What a strength!).
-- Second, the name Ahobilam means a "Great Cave", where Sri Garuda performed penance and had the vision of the Lord. Subsequently the Lord manifested here in nine different forms known as "Nava Narasimha" due to the penance of Sri Garuda and other spiritual events. Apart from Sri Garuda, the kshetra is associated with the penances of Sri Parashurama, Bhakta Hanuman and others.
