Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirumala is located 860 metes above sea level atop a hill named Venkatadri. It is the last of the seven hills one has to traverse through from Tirupati, a transit point for Tirumala.
This temple’s importance in Indian religious milieu cannot be undermined. Some of the Vedic hymns aver that in Kali Yuga one can attain bliss (mukti) only by worshipping Sri Venkateswara or Lord Balaji, as he is also known. The evolution of this temple can be traced to Vaishnavite philosophy (a doctrine which maintains that by seeking forgiveness of God almighty people rid themselves of their sins and come close to salvation.)
It is a well documented fact now that people are traveling more than ever before because of better rail, road and air connectivity. This site is intended to give both native Indians and those living abroad an insight into the history. It will also provide useful tips to travelers apart from rare information. It wishes to be more than a mere travelogue. It is meant to encourage you to look back at our rich spiritual heritage.
