Sri Bhargava Narasimha Swamy Temple

The presiding image is a six-armed fierce Narasimha shown at the Hiranyakashipu episode, with Prahlada at the Lord's feet. The form is tied specifically to the darshan sought by Parashurama.

The shrine takes its name from Bhargava Rama, or Parashurama, whose penance is central to its tradition. It belongs to the distinct nine-shrine geography of Ahobilam.

Narasimha devotion is framed through bhakti, dharma, courage, protection of the vulnerable and right action. No result is promised.

Sacred tradition says Parashurama bathed at the theertham and performed penance to behold Narasimha's fierce form. The story is framed as devotional tradition, without promising purification or relief as a guaranteed outcome.

The shrine forms part of the layered Ahobilam complex associated with Chalukya, Kakatiya, Reddi and Vijayanagara patronage. Page-specific dating is kept cautious because the supplied source does not establish a single construction date.

A modest Dravidian hill shrine holds the six-armed image. The sacred pond beside it is integral to the setting, while the wider complex uses stone sanctum and brick-vimana forms.

The source describes a paved road suitable for regular vehicles from Lower Ahobilam, followed by the local temple approach. Confirm the road surface and parking before travel.
