Sri Venkateswara Temple Thirumala-Thirupathi




The ancient and sacred temple of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak, Venkatachal
(Venkata Hill) of the Tirupati Hill, and lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini, (southern India, Andhra Pradesh in Chittoor district)

This temple is believed to be the richest of all the Hindu temples in the world.

Tirupati is one of the holiest places in Hinduism and is well known as 'Kaliyuga Vaikuntam' by its
devotees. Tirupati, or "Aadhi Varaha Kshetra", as it is known in the Puranas (Scriptures on Hindu
Mythology), is an important pilgrimage site in the Hindu world, with pilgrims climbing several
hills to arrive at the hilltop town of Tirumala where the famous temple is situated.

The enormous temple complex, with the main shrine and dome in solid gold, is dedicated to Vishnu,
the second deity of the Hindu Holy Trinity who assumes the role of preserver of the cosmos. In
this temple Vishnu resides as Venkateswara, an avatar or incarnation of Vishnu. The goddess Sri,
or Laxmi (Vishnu's consort), resides on the chest of Venketeswara thus he is also known by the
epithet Srinivasa (the one in whom Sri resides).

Photography is strictly prohibited in the temple, hence the pictures of the surroundings & long
distant shots of the temple.
