Sri Venkateswara Swamy Vaari Temple - Hindu temple in Tirupati - Chittoor, India

One of the best well maintained temple I have ever visited. The way they respected all the people who visited the temple is amazing. Not even in single place they scolded or treated people unequally and the maintenance of the surroundings and bathroom is mind blowing . The Annadhanam they provided was the best. One should visit this temple at-least once in a lifetime. and please avoid giving biscuits and buns to wild animals. They are not meant to eat those junk items

I just love the road it's so beautiful, lush green mountains. Place is crowded with too many small shops, making it too difficult for walking close to the temple. It took 5hrs for Darshanam for Rs.300 special Darshanam. Volunteers are too rude inside the temple sanctum, male volunteers should know how to behave with women devotees, they push inappropriately they make it so uncomfortable. I would request the temple authorities to give them proper guidance and introduction on how to handle the crowd specifically with the women devotees.

It is one of the most auspicious pilgrimage sites in India. The whole place is very well planned, barricaded with proper attention given to the number of visitors coming here every day. My only word of advice is, if you couldn't handle the long queues, pushing around & waiting. Only visit here after booking your ticket for special entry (300Rs), at Airport they also offer one VVIP Darshan tickets which comes at a price of 10,500 Rs. Visit to this Holy place will leave you spiritually elevated

A beautiful place, must visit for anyone. This place doesn't need any introduction to it's greatness factor. Booking tickets in advance is highly suggested because as soon as tickets are issued for this place for darshan, they all are booked immediately. Stay and tickets should be decided beforehand for a good travel.

Best place on earth... despite such heavy crowd it is well maintained with all the facilities... the 30 seconds of time that we get to see lord Balaji is worth the long wait... no matter how many times we visit, the moment we come back home, we immediately feel like going back to this place even though we know that Darshan takes long time. The steps way and the hill has so much divinity despite such heavy crowd... must must visit place.only thing that I would suggest is that to plan bookings in advance.

There are a few things anyone needs to know if you are visiting for the first time. The first thing to do is buy free tickets from Tirupati if you have planned a sudden visit. We were lucky enough so we didn't face much of a crowd (we visited at the end of November). The reporting time at the temple is 4 am. You can easily get a bus from Tirupati to Tirumala (mandir is at tirumala). Note that buses are not available between 12:00 am to 2:59 am and start from 3:00 am. You need to submit all your electronic gadgets at the counter available in between the pathway of the queue, which you can get at the delivery counter outside of the temple after darshan. Now there are 3 ways to reach there 1. By walking from the starting point of the trek (a long trek including stairs) 2. By 300 rs. entry ticket and go by bus (booking starts 3 months before) 3. Take free entry tickets and go by bus (long queue and waiting time but available on same day during working hours) Choose according to your convenience. Due to less crowd we got darshan through free tickets and waiting time in the queue was around 2 hours. The experience was amazing and don't forget to buy extra Prasad (laddu) for your family, available inside the temple only. As mobile and camera are not allowed, I have pics from the outside. I appreciate the security and management of the staff. Although we lost our slippers, that's ok.

I love this place. Here I feel that my soul connects with Lord Venkatesha. My life's first and last wish to stay here for all time to see my Lord Vishnu in this magical place.

Always super. Only thing is management need to have proper planning. Some times it's taking more than 10hrs to complete Darshan. Meanwhile there will be small kids or old age people who need proper food at proper time. Accordingly some arrangements should be there. Earlier it used to be provided in the waiting halls. Now no one is concerned.
