Tirupati Tirumala Venkateswara Temple is a famous Hindu temple of Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Venkateswara located in the hill town Tirumala, near Tirupati in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
The temple is situated on Venkatadri, one of the seven hills of Tirumala, and hence is also known as the Temple of Seven Hills (Saptagiri). Pilgrims avail two ways of going for Darshana from Tirupati to Tirumala Hill, one by buses which are available all the time (little lesser during the night time) and another one is by walk through Saptagiri.
The interesting fact is climbing 7 hills and reaching to Balaji Temple is to have thrilling experience, it takes approx 4 hours to reach. On the way while climbing seven hills you will have magnificent view of hill elevations, natural sceneries, deer safari, and many more small small temples.
The temple is reportedly the richest and the most visited place of worship in the world.
The temple is visited by about 50,000 to 100,000 pilgrims daily (3 to 4 crore people annually on an average).
I went on 25th December' 2010. This was the 6th time when I went to Tirupati for Balaji Darshan.
