5 Specialty Museums in Tirupati That You Shouldn't Miss
The holy city of Tirupati draws tourists and religious pilgrims alike, who flock to the Ancient Lord Venkateswara Temple, known for its elaborate Dravidian style and gold-plated cupola. Prayers are offered daily at this popular temple, which sits high in the Tirumala hills. Several other temples dot the town, and the lush countryside contains numerous waterfalls. Tirupati is also home to a rare, naturally-occurring pre-Jurassic stone arch that is 25 feet long and 10 feet high, one of only three of these geological features in the world.

This museum is situated very near the Govindaraja perumal temple.. When you come out of the temple through the south gate, you will see this museum..

The highlight is the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Theme Park here Located at Shilparamam’s Urban Hut the twenty-one sculptures centred around the theme of Lord Venkateswara highlights the painstaking work of new age sculpture artists, who have transformed scrap metal into iconic masterpieces. At the park, one can find statues of Vakulamatha, Consorts of Lord Venkateswara – Sridevi and Bhudevi, Suprabatha Swamy, Lord Malayappa, Doorkeepers of Lord Venkateswara – Jaya and Vijaya, Kodandarama Swamy, Lord Hanuman, Garuda, Annamacharya, Kalpavriksha, Ramanujacharya, Lord Venkateswara’s Chief Commander Visvaksena, ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu or Dasavatara, all constructed through scrap metal parts. The main attraction is a sculpture – ‘Brahma in the form of Cow’, which depicts the scene where Lord Brahma (takes the form of a cow) feeds Maha Vishnu, while the latter meditates in an anthill disgusted over the insult of Sage Bhrigu.
