Tirupati is a temple town located on the foot hills of Tirumala. Tirupati or Aadhi Varaha Kshetra as it is known in the Puranas (Scriptures on Hindu Mythology) is an imperative moutainous pilgrimage site in the Hindu world. It is dedicated to Vishnu the second deity of the Hindu Holy Trinity who assumes the role of preserver of the cosmos. In this temple Vishnu resides as Venkateswara, a unique form of Vishnu that is not to be observed elsewhere in India. The deity is seen with two arms as opposed to the commonly seen four-armed image of Vishnu. The goddess Sri or lakshmi (Vishnu's consort) resides on the chest of Venketeswara thus he is also known by another epithet of Srinivasa (the one who Sri resides in). The deity is seen by devotees as the Kaliyuga varada, that is the boon-granting lord of Kaliyuga (the fourth age of Hindu horology) Tirupati is held in particular reverence by the Vaishnava sect of South India, known as the Sri Vaishnava. It is only second in importance to Srirangam, a temple near Tiruchirapalli in Tamil
Nadu.
