About the Temples

Tirupati Balaji Temple: Also known as the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, this temple is one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in the world. Located in the hill town of Tirumala, it is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Devotees believe that a visit to this temple can cleanse them of their sins and bring prosperity. The temple is also famous for its “Tirupati Laddu” prasadam, which is distributed to pilgrims after darshan.

Padmavathi Temple: Located in Alamelumangapuram, the Padmavathi Temple is dedicated to Goddess Padmavathi, the consort of Lord Venkateswara. It is an essential stop for devotees visiting Tirupati, as it is believed that the pilgrimage is incomplete without seeking the blessings of Goddess Padmavathi.

Sri Kalahasti Temple: Sri Kalahasti Temple is renowned for its association with the Rahu-Ketu Dosha pooja and is one of the Panchabhoota Sthalams, representing the element of air. Located in the town of Srikalahasti, this ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and attracts thousands of devotees seeking relief from doshas (planetary afflictions) and for spiritual fulfillment.
