Temple Darshan, Pooja and Sevas Information Infoirmation Website Ahobilam Temple Timings, Darshan Procedure, and Dress Code
It is said that Ahobila got its name due to the large cave. Garuda offered worship to the Lord of Ahobila here. Lord Sri Rama, who is the most well-known deity in Tirumala-Tirupathi, and Lord Srinivasa both worshiped Lord Narasimha in addition to Brahma. In Srivaishnava tradition, the Lord of Ahobila Narasimha is known as “Peria Perumal” (God of gods). It is said that Sri Rama prayed with the Panchamrta Stotra to the Lord of Sri Ahobila when he was in the forest, according to Seshadharma. Only after offering worship to Sri Narasimha on this mountain did Lord Srinivasa marry Padmavathi.
Dress Code: Any decent outfit.
Darshan Ticket cost: Free entry on all days.
There is a direct bus to Upper Ahobilam (Eguva Ahobilam) from Allagadd. APSRTC is running buses to Ahobilam with 60 mins frequency. It usually takes 45 mins from Allagaddu.
The rush will be high on Swathi Nakshatra days (the birth of Lord Narasimha Swamy). During the rainy season, the road to Upper Ahobilam will be flooded, so it is advisable to plan during the summer and winter. Commander Jeeps are readily available at Lower Ahobilam for the Nava Narasimha Kshetra’s visit.
The best time to visit is from December to September.
