Penchalakona Penchalakona is a village located in the Rapur Mandal of Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh, India, 70km west of Nellore. It is an ancient sacred place and pilgrim center. Narasimha, one of the legendary avatars of Vishnu, was said to have manifested here as a huge rock in the “Yoga mudra” pose (an entwined contemplative posture). Hence it acquired the name of “Penusila” (huge rock) and in time became known as “Penchalakona." According to the legend, after slaying the demon Hiranya Kashyapa, Lord Narasimha bathed in Penchalakona and withdrew that “Avatara”(incarnation) of Narasimha, shedding his anger and ferocity. The Lord here goes by the name of Somasila Narasimhaswamy, and has become one of the Nava Narasimhas (nine manifestations).
