Tirupati

[nikhil]

As my family is very religious we had a trip to Tirupati. It is in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh n arnd 140 km from Chennai. The main attraction here is the world famous Sri Venkateswara temple. At night, the vimanam is well illuminated. The temple flag post is also gold plated and stands tall in all its magnificence. The idol of Lord Venkateswara, supposed to be a form of Vishnu, has four arms, one holding a conch, the second a discus, the third in the abhaya (blessing) pose, with the fourth resting on the hip.
