SRI BALAJI TEMPLE

This imposing shrine depicting the South Indian architectural design in sculpture is the benefaction of the world famous Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, Tirupati. The temple enshrines the life size idol of Balaji, and exactly resembles in all aspects the Moolavigraham of Balaji installed in the sacred temple atop the seven Hills. Though the poojas offered to the Lord are according Vaishnava Sampradaya only, they evoke admiration and appear novel to the Northners and foreigners. The T.T.D., Guest House adjoining to it provides accommodation at cheap rates and extends other facilities, like halls, vessels for conducting marriages etc., if required. It is in the heart of town and so very near to bus-stand and railway station.
