On June 28-29, we visited Tirupati, Tirumala Devsthanam. It was a long awaited trip and finally Lord called us to be there on Jun 29th weekend. After reaching Tirupati, we straightaway proceeded to Tirumala Hills. Before starting the Ascent to Tirumala Hills, we need to get security test done. We took some rest at Tirumala and then took Lunch in Tirupati. It was a summer afternoon and was very hot. I feel temperature must be above 40 Degrees, but still cool breeze from the blessed mountains made it better.After Lunch we visited two temples in Tirupati. These are:
*Kaleshwari Temple
* ISKCON Temple
We had taken darshan ticket from Hyderabad itself in advance. But got to know that… for that ticket line is really big. So we managed to get letter from the director, which helped us to get Accomodation (Padmavati Guest House) and AAD Tickets. On Sunday, 29th Jun at 5.30 AM was darshan time. We woke up at 1.00 AM. We all got ready and at around 3:00 AM, and started walking towards the temple. I have never b4 gone walking at this time. But you wont feel like its 3.00 Am as you see people all around. The line for darshan was like moving on and on. …. We were eagerly waiting to reach the temple. We had darshan in just a matter of 3 hours, which we didnt expect. And its really very peaceful. I really liked the place. The kind of peace you get. We all were hungry after Darshan. Wake up early and don’t have have anything 2 eat. That is bit bad. We were eagerly waiting 4 some place 2 open where we can get something 2 eat. Everywhere you need 2 wait for hours. We finally reached a restaurant, which was open and they were serving only small idli’s dipped in sambar and upma. We were really hungry. So ate Sambar as well as Upma. At around 10:30Am we started descent from Tirumala Hills and came back to Tirupati.
After that we went a nearby temple call kalhastiWe started at around 6.30 PM for our return journey and reached around 6:30 AM to our home.
I feel once atleast you should go….
Trip was very satisfying and we all were very happy.
