Ahobilam - Prahaladha Varadhan & Amruthavalli

After some coffee we visited the Prahalada Varadhan shrine near the Ahobilam mutt. In the sanctum are the Utsava idols of Prahlada Varada, Pavana Narasimha and the processional idols of Jwala Narasimha., This is because its difficult to perform pooja at the respective shrines on the utsava days.

With this darshan I have visited eight Narasimha Shrines in a single day and broke my earlier record of six Narasimha Shrines in a single day.

After darshan we lined up outside the sanctum for Prasadam and were given Panchangam and Sundal. We then leisurely strolled out eyeing the shops that lined the streets. We bought the VCD on Ahobilam for Forty Rupees and the Sthala Puranam for 20 Rupees. Later in the night we figured out that the book actually costed only 10 rupees. We had dinner by 8 pmand went to sleep by 9pm so that we could start early to the Pavana Narasimha shrine the next day.
