For the believers the place is divine.. the long wait in the ques for a few seconds of darshan is well worth it.. the arrangements are very good with facilities provided at every crucial place.. try and take a Rs 300 darshan ticket for a faster experience..

We have frequent buses from Tirupati to Kalahasteeswara. The earlier we reach it is better. We have Shoe/ Wallet parking facility inside the temple. The pooja items are available inside the temple by respective pooja receipts. Prasadam served inside the temple is more tastier than the Hotels available outside. Saravanabhavan near the temple entrance is not a branch of Original Chennai Hotel Saravanabhavan. Quick Darshan inside the temple is chargeable at different categories. Rahu Keta parihara Pooja, Rudra yagam, Rudra pooja are performed regularly

This temple is located on the left side of the pushkarani near the tirupati temple.. This temple is a must visit place for pilgrims who visit Tirumala. It is said that Lord varahaswamy owns the Tirumala, and he gave place to Lord venkateshwara. Hence, Lord venkateshwara told that each and every devotees who come to have darshan of HIM should first have the darshan of Lord varahaswamy.. only then the purpose of visit to Tirumala will be completed.. Hence, those who visit Tirumala,kindly have darshan of Lord varahaswamy and get HIS blessings..

This notified National Geo-heritage Monument is a distinctive geological feature. The arch is also called Silathoranam in the local language (Telugu language: sila means ‘rock’ and thoranam means a garland strung over a threshold, connecting two vertical columns or an ‘arch’ as in this case). The arch is naturally formed in the quartzites of Cuddapah Supergroup of Middle to Upper Proterozoic (1600 to 570 Ma) due to natural erosive forces. In the 1980s, during excavations for a geological fault in the Tirumala hills, geologists found this rare geological formation of the rock arch which has two dissimilar sets of rocks with a connecting thin link. The assessed geological age of the rock arch is 2.5 million years. Formation of the arch is attributed to intensified weathering and erosion of stream action that has withstood the torque of nature. This is a rare geological fault which is technically called in the geological idiom as ‘Eparchaean Unconformity. Only two more such arch exists in the world- The rainbow arch in Utah and the arch cut through den radiant quartzite of UK. According to local belief Lord Vishnu is supposed to have put his first foot down at a place called Sreevari padalu, the divine foot prints which is the highest point of Tirumala hills, the second step at the location of the arch. Thereafter, the next step is stated to have been placed where his idol is now worshipped in the temple at Tirumala. All the six locations can be visited in under three hours. You start from – Srivari Padalu. Then return back to Silathoranam. The Rock garden and Chakra Theertham is located within the same complex. From here you go straight to Papavinasanam. On way back you can visit Akash ganga and stop for some time on the Gogarbham dam bridge. You will be travelling a maximum distance of 25 kms.

This is a very powerful and ancient temple for Sri Anjaneya Swami , it is located in such a way that the murthi of Sri Anjaneya faces the Lord Sri Venkateswara Swami . This temple is in exact opposite direction of maha dwaram or main entrance . This is not the big Anjaneya that you see while coming down . That cement structure is a recent addition . This temple was established centuries before .
