Ahobilam in one day

Ahobilam is traditionally regarded as the place where Vishnu in the form of Narasimha killed the  rakshasa   Hiranyakashipu  in order to save his devotee Prahlada. The legend says that Narasimha emerged from a rock pillar to kill the rakshasa. The moment is represented in a number of the  murti  in the various temples. Also, Garuda prayed for a vision of Narasimha in the form of Avatar, to fulfill his wish, and settled in nine forms across the hills in Ahobilam. It is considered as Navanarasimha kshetra. So, let's see how you can cover this  Navanarasimha kshetra in one day if you are traveling from Hyderabad. Day 0: By 17:30 leave from Hyderabad. You will reach Nandyal by 22:00. Today you can have a night stay at Nandyal. Day 1: Try to leave Nandyal by 5:00. You will reach Ahobilam by 6:00. To take accommodation in Ahobilam you have 3 options, 1. Ahobila Mutt 2. Guesthouse by TTD 3. Haritha resorts. I usually prefer Ahobila mutt because it has good rooms and you can have breakfast
