Ancient temples dedicated to Lord Narasimha dot the rugged hills, where hiking trails lead to nine sacred shrines. Trek to Ugra Stambham to see the natural rock pillar where devotees believe the deity appeared to slay a demon.

In the lower Ahobila Lakshmi Narasimha Swami is in a peaceful form. The temple has exquisite stone art. Lord Srinivasa himself is said to installed the main deity here. He is said to have sought the blessings of Narasimha before his wedding but finding the Narasihma in fierce form in Upper Ahobila, he is said to have installed the peaceful form in the lower Ahobila. 

 It is a common practice to worship the Prahlada Varada Narasimha in lower Ahobilam before worshipping Eguva Ahobila Narasimha, who is present eight kilometers away on a hilltop inside a cave. After worshipping the Lord, it is another practice to visit Navanarasimhas (nine Narasimhas). The legend says Lord Narasimha, after slaying Hiranyakasipa was roaming around the forest hills of Ahobilam making fearsome laughs and settling at nine places to bless the devotees. Here are the Nava Narasimha temples. Another legend describes when Lord Garuda did penance to see Lord Vishnu in Lord Narasimha form. Thereafter, Lord Narasimha took nine different forms in this hill.
