Tirupati
Amidst the thickly-wooded hills in Chittoor district lies the temple town
of Tirumala with Tirupati at the foothills, the abode of Lord Venkateswara.
The range of hills is said to resemble a snake with Tirumala forming the
hood. Lord Venkateswara, the residing god, is known as ‘Lord of the
Seven Hills’ and ‘Balaji’.
Tirupati and Tirumala today are modern destinations of pilgrim tourists.
Not only the bliss of a divine 'darshan' but added attractions provided by
nature make them the ideal pilgrimage-cum-holiday destination.
While Balaji remains the main draw, the beauties of nature and the serene
surroundings have made Tirupati today a much visited town. A beautiful
road leads up across the Seven Hills to Tirumala.
