Before reading into
the topic, Read the Sthala puranam of Ahobilam temple
Karanja Narasimha:
Karanja is a tree. Hanuman did
penance to see Lord Rama (Another incarnation of Vishnu) in Ahobilam and the
Lord appeared as Narasimha. Hanuman requested him to give darshan as Rama. So
the Lord gave darshan along with bow and arrow with the celestial serpent as
umbrella (to show that he is Maha Vishnu) to Hanuman here under the Karanja
tree( Punga tree in Tamil). So he is called as Karanja Narasimhar. There is a
shrine for Hanuman facing the Lord. Hanuman gives in standing pose with hands
in woshipping position.
