AMMAVARI TEMPLE

This worshipful statue bears resemblance to Balaji due to its height and decoration etc. When we go round these shrines we notice a five hooded Nagendra's granite statue close to the wall of the Mother's shrine. After obeisance to it, for Nagaraja is he proseny of Adisesha, on which Mahavishnu reclines.

Now halt at Annapurneswari's shrine, a newly built shrine maintained by an able and efficient devout; administrators. There lies to the other side Sarvasiddi Vinayaka temple and a small Sivalayam. Another addition of Siva temple adjoining it is also luring a steady stream of devotees. A small mini shrine for veerabrahmaswamy lies next to it Govindharajaswamy Temple.

Actually we have completed almost all the much venerated, perennially visited hoary shrines except Govindaraja temple and Kodandarama temple. The temple tower of Govindaraja Swamy shrine is an important landmark in Tirupathi town and visible for miles around. This lofty 7 storeyed tower is higher than the Bagavan Balaji's temple at Tirumala and its extensive lay out and spawning court yards with minishrines together with carrying on nityanai mithika worship with due rituals including the periodical festivals like Brahmotsava and float festivals are exerting a tremendous impact on the theists. And almost all pilgrims avail the darsan of this Lord either on their arrival, or after Tirumala trip. Can you guess why Miss. Bala Amal?"

" Because it is at the base for holy pilgrimage, besides enjoying the transport facilities like rail, road and airways uncle."
