Ahobilam - Karangya Narasimha Swamy

We boarded the buses and on our way back stopped by the Karangya Narasimha shrine to have Darshan .Lord Narasimha is under a tree, called 'Karanja Vruksham' and hence the name.

Lord Narasimha is with a bow and Sudarshana Chakram and has a Third eye (Trinetra) . According to the puranas Lord Hanuman doesnt believe that Lord Narasimha is an avatar of Lord Rama, so the lord opens his third eye and tells Lord Hanuman that he's Lord Shiva and also Lord Rama and Lord Rama appears to Lord Hanuman in the third eye.

According to the puranas each of the nine Narasimha shrines were worshipped by the nine planets. This Shrine is supposed to have been worshipped by Chandru (Moon)

We then took the bus and reached the Ahobilam mutt at 2pm and had lunch and about 45 minutes of rest before we set out again.
