Srinivasa Mangapuram Srinivasa Mangapuram History:

Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple is located about 12 km west of Tirupati in Srinivasa Mangapuram of Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple is another important Tirupati shrine. Also known as Srinivasa Mangapuram Temple, it is maintained by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) since 1967.

Considered next to the only temple of Tirupati Balaji, the temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy is considered as an alternative for devotees who can not visit the Balaji temple in the Tirumala hills. It is also visited by many newly married couples who come here to seek the Lord’s blessing for a happy married life.

According to mythology, Lord Venkateswara Swamy or Lord Balaji, after marrying his beloved Goddess Padmavati, the daughter of King Akasa Raja, did not immediately return to his home in Tirumala Hills. Instead, the Lord and the Goddess went to seek the blessings of the great sage Agasthya in his ashram. At the sage’s request, they decided to stay in the humble ashram of the sages for a period of six months.

Satisfied with his stay, Lord Venkateswara blessed the place before his return to Tirumala Hills. He blessed the place with powers such that anyone who can not visit the Tirumala Temple for various reasons, such as health or age, can visit the Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple and receive the same blessings. At the same time, even for newlyweds, couples can get the blessing of a happy and contented life by seeking the blessings of the Lord here.

It is also believed that because of the blessing that the Lord has bestowed on this place, every pilgrim who participates in Kalyana utsavam and who has a kaappu in his hand, has the blessing to find a loving life partner. It is also said that if devotees are married, by tying a kappu in their hands, they receive blessings for happiness in their existing conjugal/married life.

About the history of the temple, this is not a substantial indication of its construction. It is believed that the former was ruined in 1324, under the reign of the sultans. According to the inscriptions in the temple, it is said that Sri Annamacharya’s grandson, Sri Tallapaka Chinna Tirumala Acharya, had renovated this temple in the 16th century. It has been maintained by the Tallapaka family for a long period of time. Later he was under the administration of the Department of Archaeology, Government of India. Finally, in 1967, the temple came under the control of TTD.

Kalyana Utsavam which happens every day is the main attraction of this temple. According to the beliefs, if a devotee seeks blessing during Kalyana Utsavam, then he or she is blessed to find an ideal life partner. It is also believed that visiting during this time can eliminate all kinds of problems in married life. Another great time to visit is during the Brahmotsavam festival, when Lord Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy ascends to Simha Vahanam.

The opening hours of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple for darshan are from 5.30 am until 7.30 pm in the evening. This temple is located at a distance of about 12 km from the Tirupati bus stop. It is easily accessible by bus and private vehicles. There are many frequent buses that go through Srinivasa Mangapuram to Piler, Thalkona, Mandapalle, Bhakara Peta and Ramgam Peta.
