Ahobilam — 9 Narasimha shrines on one mountain
The Nava-Narasiṁha-kṣetra of Ahobilam — where Narasimha killed Hiraṇyakaśipu — has 9 distinct Narasimha shrines across the Nallamala hills: Jvālā, Ahobila, Mālolā, Krodha, Kāraṇja, Bhargava, Yogānanda, Chatravaṭa, Pāvana. The Ahobila Mutt (founded 14th c.) is one of the 2 principal Śrīvaiṣṇava mutts. Trekking all 9 takes 3 days; each is at a different altitude.
Daily aarati (dawn + dusk); abhisheka; flower and coconut offerings; evening deepa-dhyana. Annual festival features procession, special darshan, distribution of prasadam, and gathering of community.
Each district of India has its own gods, stories, and sacred places. Cataloguing them — with real coordinates and authentic local tradition — respects the richness of India's lived religious diversity.
