THE first and foremost is the temple of Lord venkateswara in Tirumala Hills.In the north the Lord is Known as Balaji,and in the south as Srinivasa perumal.It is the richest temple in India with an annual income over of above 50 crores.the Lord fulfils the desires of the devotees and devotes in their turn fulfil their vows.They find a ready and immidiate response to their Pryers and this accounts for the thounds of devotees thringing the shrine every day.
Legen has it that this temple had been a scared place in all the four yugas.Inthe Krithayuga it was Known as Vrishabachala,in the Trethayuga as Anjanadri,In the dwaparayuga as Seshachale and in hence the god is called "Edu kondala vadu"the lord of the seven Hills.The main temple is a master piece of south Indian Architecture with its gopuram fcaing the east.the Vimana over the sanctum sanctorum is entirely covered with gold plate and is known as Ananda Nilayam.On Entering the sanctum sanctorun,one gets a most impreesive view of the day diety Lord venkateswara.The idol has the attributes of both Vishnu and siva.
Sri venkatachala Mhaatyam is the sthala puranam which is place background of these Holy Hills.Brahmotsavam at Tirupathi which generally falls in september attracts large crowds from all over indiaThe next important festival is a vasontotsavam which also gathers large crowds.Various amenities are provided for the pilgrims which are perhaps not found at any6 other piligrim center in the country>The glory and the greatness of the lord is indescribable and every day is a day of festival in the temple (NITYAKALYANAM PAACHATORANAM).WHO PRAYS THIS LORDM A ND THEY WERE VERY HAPPY AND VERY LUCKY TOPRAY HIM SO POWERFULL HE IS.
