Tirupati is a holy land situated in a small quaint corner in India’s Chittor district. It is one of the most pious and sedate places in the world. Not only is it visited by the devout Hindus but is also flocked by foreign tourists who seek spiritual blessings by taking the much-desired Tirupati darshan. Everyone from elderly devouts to pilgrims to Indian ‘sadhus’ to the modern-day youths walk into this sanctified land under the Tirupati package and look for pleasures beyond the realms of the mundane.
Tirupati is a magnificent town which sees a ‘mela’ (riotous fair) of ‘pujas’, ‘yajnas’, ‘aartis’ and ‘prasad’ ceremony as people from all parts of the globe congregate to offer their prayers to Lord Venkateshwara, the chief deity residing in this place. It is said that Tirupati darshan washes off all the sins committed by one in his worldly life. Tirupati package also allows you to visit monumental temples of other deities like Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna and Hanumana to name a few. These temples are not just colossal in size but are grand in terms of architecture. Some of them are centuries old and evoke reminiscences of good, old glorious times.
While a foreigner gets forlorn in the elaborate rituals & rites that are associated with the Hindu worshipping, the Hindu pilgrims relish the prospect of standing for hours in serpentine queues and even climbing stairs on knees. Tirupati darshan can be had during anytime but the ‘Brahmotsavam’ festival held around September is the most favored one. Apart from shrines, temples and deities, Tirupati package proffers you a peek into a quaint quiet world and a fascinating handicraft industry. Besides, hygiene and quality of stay & food is top-class as well.
