Ugrasthambam Mountain/ உக்ர ஸ்தம்பம், Ahobilam /அஹோபிலம், Nandyal District, Andhra Pradesh.

The visit to this Ugra Sthambam (Ugra - Anger, fierceness)/ Ugrasthambam Mountain at Ahobilam was a part of the Ahobilam Temples Visit, on 25th and 26th August 2025, organized by Mantra Yatra (website). Thanks to Mr. Balaji Davey and his team of Mantra Yatra for the excellent arrangement and personal care.


At a distance of eight kilometres from the Upper Ahobilam temple, a cleft of the mountain dividing it into two visible parts can be seen. It is a long-held view that from the cleft, the Maha Vishnu breaks the sthamba, appears in the form of Ugra Narasimha Swamy, and this cleft is known as “Ugra Sthambham”.

A Pada has been installed in recent years. Except for this, there is nothing to see on the top of the Ugra Sthambam.


HOW TO REACH
The top of the Ugra Sthamba can be reached only through the Jwala Narasimhar temple. The trekking will be very, very tough.

The Jwala Narasimha temple is about 7 km from Upper Ahobilam Sri Narasimha Swamy Temple, 41 km from Allagada, 78km from Nandyal Railway Station, and 118 km from Tadipatri. 

The nearest Railway Station is Nandyal Railway Station.

Mr. Narendra Kumar may be contacted on his mobile number 9642844839, for Local Guide, Poojas, Darshan, Stay, Food, and Jeep for the two temples.
