Tirupathi

Tirupathi is one of the most revered temple towns in India. It is located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh dedicated to Lord Venkateswara. It is perched at a height of 874 metres above mean sea level. The seven hills of Tirumala represent seven heads of legendary serpent called Sheshasaye on which Lord Vishnu rests. The majestic jet-black idol 2 metres high is adorned by a mass of gold and precious stones. Most striking is the fabulous crown that is said to be the costliest single ornament ever made in the world.

The exact period in which the temple was founded is not known, and tradition has it that the 12th century temple is Swayambhustala, meaning, it came into existence on its own without anyone making it. The idol of Sri Venkateswara depicts the Lord’s standing image on a lotus. It has four arms and on the chest are the images of Goddesses Lakshmi and Padmavati.

Venkateshwara is considered to be the most powerful Hindu deity; he is believed to be the fulfiller of every wish made to him by the devotees. The darshan of the deity is a heavenly experience. The aura created by the magnificent jewellery adorning the deity, the powerful vibrations of the prayers offered day in and day out is overwhelming, every devotee coming out of the sanctum sanctorum has the feeling of being special.

Considering it to be most auspicious, men, women and children donate their hair to the deity, as an act symbolic of renouncing the ego.
