At 6:30 we reahed Rayachoti. The actuall route is via cuddappah. Due to ghat road repair, we took left route where we came across ' Gandi ' kshethram. It is famous for Hanuman temple and a pleasentfull scenari of the river Papagni.
After taking breakfast, we started moving towards ' Bramham gari matam ' @ Banaganapalli via Cuddappah and Mydukur. This is where 'Pothuloori Veerabramham' garu lived 700 years ago, and went to sajeeva samadhi.
On 3'o clock, we reached Ahobilam, one of the foremost places of worship of Lord Narasimha, an avatar of Lord Vishnu.The Nallamalai ranges south of river Krishna, down to Tirupati and are called `Sesha Parvatha`. Sesha is the name of the king of serpents. The hood of the sesha is at Tirupati, the tail at Srisailam and the middle is situated at Ahobilam.
The shrine of the Ahobilam temple is situated on the top of the first range and is referred to as Upper Ahobilam and down below is called Lower Ahobilam. There are many branches of temples deep in the forest which u can go with the help of a guide available there. Due to short schedule of our trip, we didn't went for that trek. Hope we soon plan another trip totally dedicated to Upper and Lower ahobilam.
After having lunch, there is no stopping towards srisailam. From Nandyala the route is via atmakur. But with the suggestion of people there, we took some how long route but safer than atmakur i.e, via kambam and Dornala. As the Srisailam ghat road closes @ 9:30 pm, we are in hurry to get there in time. That was a great drive on the ghat road in the late night. everyone of us were tired when we finally reached onto the hill. A relative of our friend had made us accomodation facilities as we taken rest with a deep sleep.
Bramhamgari matam is not at baganagapalle. bagangapalle is in kurnool district where are bramhamgari matam is in kadapa district. you can rectify your mistake at "we started moving towards ' Bramham gari matam ' @ Banaganapalli via Cuddappah and Mydukur"
