First of all, Ahobilam was not 'constructed' by maya. Ahobilam along with
Tirupathi and Sri Sailam form a range of hills
(viz.,Garudadri,Venkatadri,Narayanadri, Anjanadri, Vrishabadri et al). The
hills are the Body of Adi Sesha and were *clearly* not contructed by maya or
anyone else. For more details of Ahobilam and it's sthala purAnam please visit;

About Ghanda Berunda:

Since childhood I have heard that it is a mystical creature which has no
connection with Lord Narasimhar and it was found in Melukote.I will post on the
'ghanda berunda' and it's connection to Melukote soon.


Thanks and Regards,

adiyEn mAlOla narasimha dAsan,
