Ugra Stambha

Ugra Stambha

At a distance of eight kms from the upper Ahobilam, we can see a cleft of the mountain dividing itself into two visible parts. It is a long-held view that from the cleft, the Lord appeared in the form of Narsimha and this cleft is known as ‘ugra stambham’. The path way to this place is a very arduous one. There is a small pillar of iron here on the cleavage of a mountain to commemorate the event.
