English: From the source,
Photograph of the ruined gopura or gateway of the Narasimha Temple at Ahobilam, taken by an unknown photographer in c.1870, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. Ahobilam is an important Vaishnava pilgrimage site and the principal place of worship of Narasimha, the lion-man incarnation of Vishnu. There is a one temple complex in lower Ahobilam, seen in this view, and another in upper Ahobilam. The temples were begun by the Reddi rulers of the 14th century and reconstructed in the late 15th and 16th centuries under the Vijayanagara rulers. The complex consists of nine shrines dedicated to the nine different forms of Narasimha. The Narasimha Temple at lower Ahobilam dates from the mid-16th century. It stands in a walled compound and consists of a shrine approached through a large open hall and minor shrines. It is entered through a pyramidal gopura or gateway on the east, now in ruins. This view shows the mouldings on the outer walls of the gopura showing the elaborate carvings on the jambs, representing Narasimha and other divinities. |
