THE MOTHER'S MANDIR

Descending, we have to proceed to the rear of her sannidhi to witness an apurva darsan of Mother with three faces, standing for the three distinct manifestations of Ichchasakti, Kriyasakti and Gnanasakti. It is an excellent carving on the floor and is decorated with enticing designs and also floral decorations having earthern lamps kept at several points around. Before coming out of the mandir, seeing of the Addalapadakatillu - the sayanagara of the Adidampatis is a must. Every night the Utsavamurthi of Lord Siva is brought here after all the prayers and placed and it is taken back in the morning. Barren women offer prayers here for santanaprapti, and when obtained, they redeem the vows with donation of cradles. So large number of them are seen hung up to the ceiling. With this, all the places of worth visitation and adoration inside are over.

And there lie some more worshipful gods beyond the southern mahadwara. Soon after crossing the Dakshinadwar, there greet several rest houses built by the temple authority and the T.T.D, Tirupati for the accommodation of pilgrims, intending to stay a couple of days for offering special prayer service.
