AHOBILAM ROPEWAY PROPOSAL

Ahobilam

Among the great shrines dedicated to Sri Narasimhaswamy,

Ahobilam occupies a pre-eminent place. This religious centre of great

antiquity also known as Singavel Kunram in ancient Tamil classics

mentioned in many puranas like Kurma, Padma and Vishnu. According

to Brahmanda purana , this place was once haunt of Hiranyakasipa who

was slain by Sriman Narayan in his Narasimha avatara aspect for the

sake of his devotee Prahlada. The cave shrines of Narasimha at ahobilam

belongs to the Sri Vaishnava tradition. It is one of the 108 sacred centres

(Divya Kshetras) of Sri Vaishnavaism.

This is a temple whose origins go back to almost 2000 years.

Ahobilam is the place, which exhibits nine distinct iconographical

forms of Narasimha. In addition to this, this place is intimately associated

with Vansatagopa Jiyar , the first jiyar of the Ahobila Math. It is being

popularly believed that God Narasimha himself came in the form of an

old man and offered sanyasa to the Jiyar. Despite such a holy

punyakshetra, spectacular setting of the cave shrines on the Nallamala

hill ranges, pillared mandapas, maths and other structures at this hill,

Ahobilam has not attracted sufficient attention of historians,

archaeologists and pilgrims tourists.

Peak hills, difficult terrain, forest location, and hill ranges have

kept them away. To facilitate pilgrim tourists and others to reach

these inaccessible cave shrines, Govt. has taken initiative to

establish a ropeway facility for the purpose of pilgrim’s

convenience. This facility will trigger off increase in pilgrim tourist flow

to this “Punya kshetram” of historical and religious importance.

Lower Ahobilam Upper Ahobilam

The temple situated on the upper Ahobilam, at a distance of

eight kilometre from the lower Ahobilam , is the main temple and the

earliest of all the nine shrines. The lord in the sanctum sanctorum here

appears in his fierce aspect. Hence, he is called “Ugra Narasimha” . it is

firmly believed that Narasimha swamy was “Swaymbhu” (self-manifest)

here.

Location :

Ahobilam is situated in the Nallamala hills, and is about 24 kms

from Allagadda taluq head quaters, 112 kms from Cuddapah , and 65

kms from Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh. it can be reached by bus from

there. Now cuddapah is having airport also.

The whole complex is composed of two parts – one called Yeguva

Ahobilam (upper Ahobilam) which contains shrines devoted to Nava

Narasimha (nine Narasimhas) and the other called Diguva Ahobilam

(lower Ahobilam) with a single shrine for Lakshmi Narasimha. Both are

connected by a road, covering a distance of about 8 kms from the lower

ahobilam to the upper Ahobilam.

From the upper Ahobilam, the other shrines are to be reached only by

trekking and negotiating the difficult terrain of flowing streams and

slippery rocks. Nature is bounteous. It affords plenty of water by way of

ponds, brooks and also some resting places in the form of shady trees.

One can witness several cave like rocks on the way.

Wild animals dwell in the forest.

If one undertakes a strenuous traverse of 8 kms, from the upper

ahobilam, one can see the Ugra stambham on the mountain side to be

the one from which Lord Narasimha emerged in his ferocious form in

response to Prahlada’s prayers.

At a distance of 8 kms from the upper Ahobilam , a cleft of the

mountain is seen, dividing mountain into two visible parts. It is a long

held view that from the cleft, the lord appeared in the form of Narasimha

and this cleft is known as “Ugra Stambham” .

This Jwala Narasimha swamy shrine and “Ugra Stambham” location

is the place, every pilgrim tourist wish to visit though it is very difficult

terrain to reach. The ropeway facility will be a great relief to pilgrim

tourists to reach this location to fulfil their lifetime wish.

Names of the place :

The place is variously referred to in the inscriptions as

Vobula1, Ahobila 2 , Ahobila 3, Ahobilagiri 4 , Vedadri 5

Diguva Tirupathi 6, Garudadri 7, Virakshetra 8, Achalachaya Meru

9, Singavel kunram 10, Nidhi 11 and Nagari 12. The popular name

of the place is Ahobila and all the other names appear as terms

connoting its mythology, sanctity, and glory. Ahobala is the ancient

form of the present name Ahobila.

The earliest inscription naming this place and Ahobala belongs to

1124A.D According to Sthala purana, there are two popular legends,

explaining the derivation of the word “Ahobilam”. It is stated that the

Devas (gods) , while witnessing the ferocious aspect (ugra kala)the lord

took on in order to tear Hiranyakasipu to pieces, exclaimed in wonder “

Ahobala” ( literally , LO! The stupendous strength !). Hence, this place

has come to be known subsequently as Ahobilam.

1. Malola Narasimha

Malola shrine is situated, nearly two kms . from the main temple of

the upper Ahobilam. The deity here appears in “Soumya” (peaceful)

form. As Narasimha is seen with his consort, Lakshmi , he is known

as Malola Narasimha. The word “ Malaola “ means beloved of Lakshmi.

The shrine is on a level surface of a peak of the Vedadri mountain.

This place is also called Markonda Lakshmi Kshetra.

2. Jwala Narasimha

The temple of Jwala Narasimha, lies higher up the Malola temple,

on a hill called “Achalachaya Meru”. This is about four kms, from the

upper Ahobilam temple. This place is said to be the actual spot where

the ferocity or anger of the Lord reached its acme when he tore

Hiranyaksipu. It is somewhat difficult to reach this place as we have

to pass through a narrow passage made by cutting and chiselling the

rocks of the peak on one side, while to the other side of this passage

there is a very deep valley. One has to walk very carefully. It is told

that the spot where Jwala Narasimha is sitting with Hiranya Kasipu on

his lap, is threshold of the main entrance door of the spacious palace

of Hiranyakasipu.

Cleaving one of the pillars of the demon”s palace, Narasimha

manifested himself. The part of this pillar standing erect has the

space of a lofty hill. This vertical hilly pillar is called Achalachayameru.

The cleaven side of the standing part is straight

and at right angles to the foot part of it.

The pilgrims got firm faith that with Jwala Narasimha swamy

Darshan, one will get rid of all grahadoshas, gruhadoshas. As such

this became very important shrine for pilgrims.

Out of 9 shrines 5 are motorable shrines:

Ahobila, Karanji, Bhargava, Yogananda and Chatravata. Pavana

Narasimha shrine is very difficult route of 16 kms,jeeps only can

negotiate. This shrine is having forest route also of 6 kms which is

passing through dense forest and hilly terrain. The jeep operator is

charging about Rs.3,500 for 6 persons. As such total 6 shrines are

motorable and reachable for the pilgrim tourists and other 3 important

shrines i.e. Malola, Krodha and Jwala Narsimhaswamy are reachable

by trekking only through serpentine forest route of boulders and

rubble.

AHOBILAM ROPEWAY PROPOSAL

As a part of providing facility to pilgrim tourist of “Divya Punya

Kshetram Ahobilam” a rope way proposal is considered.

Nava narasimha shrines inter spread inside the forest with

hillocks and great hills. As such the route to this hill terrain is very

difficult to negotiate by walk for almost all the tourists. Young and

fit piligrims only can reach the important shrine

3.of “Jwala Narasimha”. Out of Nava narasimha, “Jwala

Narasimha” temple is the one, everyone wants to have Darshan.

It is situated on a very difficult terrain at the top of the hill range

near Ugra stambha.

To see this place, pilgrim tourists are using “Doli”

arrangement by paying Rs 3000/- per person. Such an important

shrine “Jwala Narasimha”. Every pilgrim wish to see this shrine.

Interaction with tourists and pilgrims’ revealed that piligrims

mainly thrive to reach “Jwala Narasimha” shrine, and this is the

ultimate wish for all the pilgrim tourists visiting Ahobilam.

As such proposal for ropeway up to “Jwala Narasimha” is the

ultimate goal for this ropeway proposal project at this location.

As it is seen from the site plan, 4 shrines are located at very

difficult terrain and not inline and inter spread on the hillocks and

through forest. In view of this single ropeway alignment doesn’t

cover the shrines. Minimum 2 routes to be covered by ropeways

and rest of the temples are motor- able locations and pilgrims will

be visiting these temples without much difficulty.

Since there is no single alignment for covering all the 4 difficult

shrines from upper Ahobilam, two options are proposed.

“Providing Ropeway Facility” to pilgrim tourists to reach the

topmost shrine (Jwala Narasimha) is to be taken up in 2 or 3

phases in view of the straight alignment requirement and the hill

terrain.

As such it is proposed a ropeway up to “ Malola Narasimha

swamy temple “ from upper ahobilam temple area (ie near

Brahmana satram) initially in the first phase.

In the second phase, from Malola to the steel bridge near “Jwala

Narasimha” shrine. From there, pilgrims need to walk upto the

shrine through steps which is also very difficult to negotiate for

middle aged and elderly pilgrims. Though upward steps are very

steep, the distance is about 500 metres only to reach this

important shrine i.e “Jwala Narasimha”.

As such it is proposed to take up the first phase work, so that

project will take off initially for further development plans.

1st phase: upper Ahobilam area to Malola Narasimha swamy

temple --

Lower station is proposed near the satram along the

revetment rea.

Upper station is proposed in front of the “Malola Shrine”

where flat place is available.

The level difference is about 100 mtrs approximately.

The aerial distance is about 700 to 800 mtrs approximately.

Mono – rope jig back system ropeway with 2+2 gandolas

proposed (4 seater ( upper Ahobilam) each).

Tourists Flow :

The tourist flow ascertained from temple people :-

a) Week days - 300 to 400 tourists

b) Week ends - about 1500 to 2000 tourists

c) Swathi day - 5000 and above tourists. (once in 27 days).

As such financial viability is not at all an issue to be addressed.

In view of the above, it is suggested that we may go for bid on

“Turnkey basis” , broadly listing the scope of work and the

technical specifications. Suggested specifications and scope of

work is subject to

the final design of the ropeway. scope of work and technical

specifications are only for guidance.

Key issues to be addressed:

1. Forest permission for establishment ropeway for the

convenience of pilgrim tourists.

2. Ahobilam matam permission.

The other proposal can be taken up in 2 nd phase for going up

to “Jwala Narasimha” which is having more than 1 km aerial

distance and about 200 mtrs elevation difference between lower

station and upper station.

Since, this “ punya kshetram ” is under “Ahobila Matam” and

is a forest area, a formal permission is required from both matam

and forest department.
