''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=PennahobilSam=

Village in the Gooty taluk of Anantapur District, 
Madras, situated in 14 52' N. and 77 19' E. Population (1901), 
only three persons. It stands on the bank of the Penner river just 
where this turns eastwards for the first time. The channel at this 
point is narrow and rocky. The village is a sacred place of pilgrimage, 
as it contains a famous temple to Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation 
of Vishnu. This building is not architecturally remarkable, much of 
it being made only of plaster ; but it is most picturesquely situated 
on rising ground among fine trees, under which stand a crowd of 
buildings for the accommodation of pilgrims.
