Divine Alternatives
Devotees find solace and divine blessings at Mangapuram, providing respite for those unable to reach Tirumala's heights.
Nestled 12 kilometers west of Tirupati in Srinivasa Mangapuram, the Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy temple holds a timeless allure. Legend has it that Lord Venkateswara, accompanied by Sri Padmavathi Devi, graced this sanctum temporarily before his residence in Tirupati Tirumala. Renowned for the Vasanthotsavam festival held during the month of May, this sacred site attracts devotees seeking divine blessings. Destroyed in 1324 and later restored by the Tallapaka family, the temple now stands under the auspices of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams. Here, newlyweds seek the Lord's grace, as it was here that Lord Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy resided with Goddess Padmavathi after their divine union.
Drenched in ancient lore, the Kalyana Venkateswara Temple unfolds a story of divine heritage. Following the celestial wedding of Lord Venkateswara and Goddess Padmavathi, their fleeting stay at Srinivasa Mangapuram etched sanctity into the village's fabric. Nestled in Sage Agasthya's hermitage for six serene months, the divine couple graced devotees with timeless blessings. Before their departure, Lord Venkateswara bestowed two enduring gifts: solace for the unable to trek Tirumala's slopes and marital harmony for Kalyana Utsavam participants. Endowed with celestial grace, the temple epitomizes eternal love and sacred bonds, echoing through the ages.
