Bangalore to Tadipatri Ahobilam Tour Package Itinerary
Day 1: Bangalore Pickup and Drive to Tadipatri
-
Bugga Ramalingeswara Swamy Temple is a 16th-century architectural gem located on the banks of the Penna River in Tadipatri. It is famous for a perennial underground spring (Bugga) that constantly flows into the sanctum sanctorum where the Shiva Lingam is consecrated. The intricate carvings on the pillars and the massive incomplete gopuram showcase the peak of Vijayanagara artistic brilliance.
-
Chintala Venkataramana Swamy Temple is situated just a kilometer away and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his divine form as Venkataramana. This temple is often compared to the Vittala Temple of Hampi due to its similar stone chariot and granite sculptures depicting scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The high-quality craftsmanship of the stone-carved windows and pillars makes it a must-visit for history lovers on this tour from Bangalore.
Day 2: Exploration of Belum Caves and Yaganti
-
Belum Caves are the second largest and longest cave system open to the public in the Indian subcontinent, located about 30 km from Tadipatri. These natural underground caves feature long passages, spacious chambers, and unique stalactite and stalagmite formations created by ancient river flows. Walking through the lit labyrinth to reach the deepest point known as “Patalganga” is an adventurous highlight of your 4-day itinerary.
-
Yaganti Uma Maheswara Temple is renowned for its miraculous growing Nandi statue and the ancient cave shrines where Sage Agastya performed penance. Nestled among scenic cliffs, the temple complex features a natural pool called Pushkarini where water flows from a tiger’s mouth throughout the year. The serene atmosphere and the surrounding caves like Venkateswara Guha and Veera Brahmam Guha offer a deeply spiritual experience before proceeding to Ahobilam.
Day 3: Full Day Nava Narasimha Darshan in Ahobilam
-
Upper Ahobilam Temples require a trek through the dense Nallamala forest to reach sacred shrines like Jwala Narasimha and Ahobila Narasimha. These temples are located in natural caves where Lord Narasimha is believed to have emerged in his fiercest form to protect his devotee Prahlada. The rugged terrain and the spiritual energy of the “Ugra Stambham” pillar site provide a sense of ancient divinity that is central to this pilgrimage.
-
Lower Ahobilam Temples are more easily accessible and house the beautiful Prahladavarada Narasimha Temple, built in the grand Vijayanagara style. Here, the Lord is seen in a peaceful posture, blessing his child devotee, surrounded by ornate mandapas and towering gopurams. Visiting the nearby Yogananda and Chatravata Narasimha shrines completes the spiritual circuit, allowing devotees to witness all nine forms of the deity.
Day 4: Visit Mahanandi and Return to Bangalore
-
Mahanandishwara Temple is one of the Nava Nandi shrines located in a picturesque valley surrounded by thick forests near Nandyal. It is famous for its crystal-clear water tanks (Pushkarinis) where devotees take a holy dip before offering prayers to the Swayambhu Shiva Lingam. The constant flow of pure water and the ancient Chalukyan architecture make it a refreshing final stop on your spiritual journey.
-
Bangalore Return Journey commences after the morning darshan at Mahanandi, as you head back towards the Garden City. The drive provides a chance to reflect on the architectural wonders and divine experiences gathered over the past few days. You will reach Bangalore by late evening, concluding your 4-day Tadipatri Ahobilam tour package with a soul-stirring memory of the Rayalaseema wonders.
