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

Located in Tiruchanoor, about 5km away from Tirupati, it is abode of Goddess Sri Padmavathi Devi, the beloved consort of Lord Venkateswara. It is believed that one should seek her divine blessings before going to Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala. According to temple legend Goddess Mahalakshmi emerged on the golden lotus as Padmavathi Devi located at the centre of Padmasarovaram-the temple tank. No mobile phone or camera is allowed inside. You can deposit them at the counter near the entrance. If you are in a hurry you should buy Rs100 ticket for a quick darshan. The ticket also affords a closer look at the deity than the general darshan line.

The temple stands at the entrance to a mountain cave in one of the steep and vertical faces at the foot of the Tirumala hills which are part of Seshachalam Hills, where the waters of the mountain stream fall directly into Temple Pushkarini known as "Kapila Theertham". A huge stone statue of a seated bull "Nandhi", Shiva's steed, greets devotees and passersby at the entrance to the temple. During 'Kartika' month on the occasion of its "mukkoti" on the 'Purnima' (full moon) day, all the teerthas situated in the three world's merge into this Kapila Teertham at noon for ten 'Ghatikas' (one ghatika is equivalent to 24 minutes) It is believed that persons bathing in it at that auspicious time will attain Moksha (salvation) from the cycle of birth and death !

We traveled to Horsley Hils from Bangalore. After doing some research on Google we found the it can be done in 1 day. We started our journey from Bangalore early morning at 5 AM and we were able to reach there at 10 AM which includes 2 tea breaks. As soon as we reached we head towards the Horslay hills zoo cum garden. The entry ticket was Rs.10 and were able to see all the points in just 2 hours. There is a restaurant in the zoo area which a small but impressively servers good local food. We had lunch and then head towards view point which is not even 1 km from zoo. Entry is free to the view point and 1 more hour can be spent during good weather. We started head back to Bangalore at 4 PM and reached Bangalore by 8 PM. I highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway from Bangalore. One can stay for a night for peaceful weekend or just a day visit will be enough to explore this place. This is not a crowed place so if you are looking for a peaceful location to spend a weekend in some isolation give a visit to this place .
