The world's richest temple, the most powerful, the magnificent Balaji!!!
I don't know if you believe in the Lord but honestly tell me you haven't cried (happy tears) at least once when you see him. A meagre sight for a few seconds will literally vanish all your sorrows and worries magically. Who would have thought people can write about Tirupati in their travel blogs, well I can coz it brings serenity and peace in this world. I trust Venky, (I call the lord Balaji as Venky) I trust Venky, I do, probably a bit too much and the sense of cleanliness and purity you get after you visit a temple, especially Tirupati, Venky blesses you with enough peace and serenity.
One excellent thing about the temple is their organization and the coordination. They say Tirupati is crowded but imagine without proper staff and coordination everything would become chaotic
The weather, the overnight stay, the prasaadham (The food they serve after god eats) etc. are always special unlike other temples in Tripathi.
Drive along the roads when it rains and hear a melody (better a god song) you will fall more for the charms of Venkatesha!
For people who trek and people who love long drives or walk, Tirupati is best for you. Watch the National Geo Documentary on Tirupati and you will know how much efforts have gone through this marvelous temple across decades.
If not for the Pandemic I would at least have one visit every year to just get my mind clear and peaceful.
We keep praying from the bottom of the hill to his temple door but once you see him you will be spellbound of his beauty and power (seriously not kidding!!). All you will feel is a direct instant connection with him and the next moment without realizing you will be teary eyed and happy when u step out.
Not forgetting the most important and the iconic food of Tirupati, THE LADDUUUUUU!!!
It tastes better in Tirupati than Tirumala. Tirumala -> The main temple for Balaji and Tirupati -> For the goddess at the bottom of the hill.
But both the Laddus are curated in a very specialized way with carefully chosen ingredients and are given to us in the best hygienic way possible.
Hoping to get back there at 2022 again! :)
