A visit to Thirupathi temple in AP

At the merge of Nallamalla cumbum forest range the thirupathi temple is located in beautiful hill locks OR otherwise you can say thirpathi forest range and TADA forest range starts from this blessed land of thirupathi.
The second largest famous temple in the world wide by revenue generation from its devotees.Every day lacks of people visiting this temple.Good amenities maintained well by thirumalla thirpathi devasthanm trust.

In olden days the Adivasis belonging to this area was maintaining this temples.Once Adisankarar visit this temple upon installing vasiya yanthiram at this temple, the temple came into limelight of devotees across india.During independence period the region wise separation of state was took place by under strong leader ship Sardar vallabai patel in india. Initiaaly the temple was with Tamilnadau state but due to strong agitation by team headed by Sri Ramu karulu and request from Andrapradesh it has been attached with present Andra pradesh.

From thirupathi hill top the Swarnamugi river originates and descends at an height of 200ft straight fall on hill top and cascades down in many places as falls and reach the foot of the hill and flow towards Kalahasti.

From lower thirupathi to upper thirupathi during the course of journey you can find dense forest welcomes all the way.we have been there on hill top on 16th Nov.2015, the heavy rains in chennai in and around thirupathi made ease of visiting balaji mandi GARPAGIRAH within 30 minutes time via fress darshan.We could able to view balaji peacefully for sometime taking advantage of less devotees turnout during this period.Such sort span of time visiting balaji not at all posible in our previous visit, because everyday lacks of people visit this temple it has been filled with devotees always.We lucky enough to have darshan like this.

In hill top lot of Sudarshan (Accomodation) available for devotees to stay at very nominal rate.Starting from Rs 50, 100, 500 and 750, these sudharsan have been maitained well by Thirupathi devastanam trust.We had stayed a night peacefully at hill top than about 10. am our downward journey started from upper thirupathi.After blessed by balaji the down ward journey through many hairpin bends via dense forest and its valley intercepting falls on the way here and there and breathtaking view of lower thirupathi through valley made immense pleasure within us.

While we seen the falls at an height of nearly 200ft straight deep fall onb the mountain and cscade again as falls and descend through lofty bridge underneath of us made breathless for an instance.Just crossing falls the Rock view and the sharp U type bend and side ways mountain at an hight of 300ft above our head right side, and cropped like steep stones on hills made enchanting within us.

I can,t explain further because you should see by our own eyes and enjoy the nature and god's gift land.

In upper thirupathi Alamelu manga, Agasa ganga, etc to be visited without fail.

Upon reaching going towards nellore at 40km distance the famous Ragu  and Kethu Parigara isthalam kalahasthi located at the banks of the Swarnamuki river.Here the poojas has been carried out regularly to overcome the negative effect of Ragh and Kethu.





KALAHASTI TEMPLE GOPURAM
The universe maintained well  that our all living places maybe attain temple status. if we not maintaining that creating disturb the result will yield natural clamities. Examples the recently took place heavy rainfall at chennai is the classic example.
The poor urban planning and bringing IT corridor in asias biggest wet land leads to the rain water stagnant in many places in the south chennai during Nov and Decm 2015 monsoon period. The city experienced 3 successive floods in Nov14, 23rd and final flood which took place on 2nd dec 2015 took many hundreds people who have lived along the Adayar river banks and adjacent area people were died and thousands of people home less and lacks people were worst affected by this flood.The average rainfall of 17cm , 24Cm& 48cm on these respective  days not able to drain out through cannals .on 2nd dec the 29000 cubic ft water opening from chembarambakkam lake and rain water about 65000 cu ft were cushed through adyar river flooded the entire saidapet , mudichur,  pallavaram, west tambaram,  paallikaranai and kottur puram were worst affected.
The rain harvesting places and its drain cannals were occupied by the people leads to this great disaster happened.This would have been avoided if water management system effectively implemented by the Tamilnadu government.Atleast this is the stage the other indian cities take precautions and took corrective measures in urban development in future to avoid such a casualties.
