Tirupati is a far-familiar temple town situated in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. Tirupati is also known as Tirumala that is most familiar and far-famed for the Sri Venkateshwara Temple, purely consecrated to Lord Vishnu. The almighty Lord Vishnu is called as Balaji by the North Indians whereas as the South Indians call as Govinda! The mandir is situated in the hill top of Tirumala, where the town is situated in the foothills. Moreover, the Tirumala hill will have to be crossed with 7 peaks known as Sapthagiri. This seven hills mark as a sign of exemplifying the 7 hoods of Adisesha – the serpent lying majestically nether the Lord Vishnu lives in Vaikuntha.

Pilgrims visiting the temple make their visit with the spiritual divinity and pray for a good fortune in their life. This temple town is an exciting and awe-inspiring tourism spot. The city will be all the time awake and it never sleeps. Pilgrims visiting the place can make their dharshan to visit the Lord Vishnu, either by availing special Sevas or free dharma dharshan. The seva time will start from 3 am morning and it finishes around 12 pm night. Generally, it takes around 4 to 5 hours of queue waiting to get the dharshan of Lord Vishnu! Either the Free dharshan or Paid dharshan, disciples must have to wait in a long queue. TTD method of approach by using the computerized issuing of tokens is being dispatched to the pilgrims. This method has greatly reduced the waiting time in a queue. Pilgrims can enjoy visiting the place and buy the prasadhams being sold there. As well-known, Tirupati is popularly known for Laddu – the most familiar known prasadha!

JaiPrakash Naraian You can come by train directly to tirupathi.
or
go to chennai by flight and then go to tirupathi.
from chennai it is only about 160 km.

Take any ttdc bus or rent a car with darshan ticket and easily you can get the darshan of lord tirupati.

Thank You
