Hinduism - Where Is Tirupati In India?

 


About 160 miles northwest of Madras, in the extreme southern section of the state of Andhra Pradesh.

It is most known for the Holy Hill (Tirumalai) eight miles to the north, which is home to the Venkateshvara temple and for which Tirupati serves as the main entrance.

Tirumalai Devasthanam Tirupati/Tirumalai Devasthanam Tirumalai Devasthanam Tirumala The Venkateshvara temple's management committee is officially known as the Venkateshvara Temple Management Committee.

It is located near the town of Tirupati in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

This temple is the wealthiest in India, thanks to the widespread belief that any desire uttered in the presence of the god would inevitably come true.

Previously, the priests in charge of the temple took all of the temple receipts, but since Indian independence in 1947, the temple committee has been in charge of them.

The committee has distributed these funds to hundreds of charities, with a focus on education and temple construction: the former in schools from elementary to university level, and the latter in providing funds to assist in the construction of many of the larger Hindu temples in the United States and Europe.
