After visiting Tirumala and Tirupati, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had to subdue some atheists. He then visited the temple of Ahovala-nṛsiṁha.
The Ahovala temple is in Dākṣiṇātya, in the district of Karṇula, within the subdivision of Sārbela. This famous temple is much appreciated throughout the district.
Ahovala and eight other temples are together called the Nava-nṛsiṁha temples. They have wonderful architecture and artistic engraving, although the Karṇula Manual states that the work is incomplete.
