connected to Renigunta on the main Bombay-Madras line, also accessible by
air and bus from all parts of South India. Tirupathi is one of the
Swayamuyaktha Kshetras(place hallowed by the descent of cosmic power(God) on
earth), where the devout worshipper is believed to experience the effect of
prayer.
The temple is on the top of seven hills, and is one of the 108 places of worship sacred to the Vaishnavites. The richest temple in India, visited by the maximum number of devotees from all over India, the presiding deity is known as Venkateshwara, Venkatachalapathi and Srinivasa in the south, and Balaji in the north.

Darshan is available to the devotees throughout the day except for a short break.
For over 2000 years this temple has been devotionally patronized by all the ruling families of South India, the Pallavas, Cholas, Pandians, Vijayanagar rulers, Nayakis, Reddies and others. One of the greatest devotee of the Lord was Krishnadevaraya, the Vijayanagar emperor. He endowed the deity with invaluable jewels, treasures, lands etc. A metal portrait of the king and queen can still be seen inside the temples in addition of the deity. Vaishnavite Alwars -6th-9th century, have poured forth soul-stirring hymns on Lord Venkateswara. Annamacharya, the noted composer has several thousand songs in praise of the Lord. These songs were engraved on copper plates and have survived to this day. The saint composer Thyagaraja has sung in praise of Lord. Arunagirinathar has sung Tiruppugaz in praise of Lord Venkateswara.
