1.tHE TIRUMALA RANGES SHOW THE FACE OF LORD BALAJI.

Natural Arch in the Tirumala Hills is a distinctive geological wonder located 1 km (0.6 mi) North of the temple, near the Chakra Teertham. The Arch is also called Silathoranam in Telugu (“Sila” means ‘rock’ and “thoranam” means a garland strung over a threshold, connecting two vertical columns or an ‘arch’ as in this case). The arch measures 8 m (26.2 ft) in width and 3 m (9.8 ft) in height, and is naturally formed in the quartzites of Cudappah due to natural erosive forces.

Primarily because its temples have pyramid shaped towers and are constructed of sandstone, soapstone and granite.


3. THIS PLACE IS KNOWN FOR ITS AMAZING LITERACY RATE (87.55%).

 
What’s even more remarkable is that this is significantly higher than the national average of 73%.

The Pallava Kingdom around 9th Century, the Chola Kingdom around 10th Century and the Vijayanagara Empire around 14th century stand testimony to this fact.

8. SRI TALLAPAKA ANNAMACHARYA (ANDHRA PADA KAVITA PITAMAHA) IS SAID TO HAVE SUNG MANY SONGS IN PRAISE OF THIS HOLY TOWN.

He compared it to be divine; including the rocks, streams, trees, animals, and added that it is heaven on earth.
(based on which the super hit movie “Annamayya” *starring Nagarjuna was made!)

9.AND THE SECRET VILLAGE 22 KM FROM THE TOWN! WOW.

Allows only the residents of that village to enter; and what’s more – it is said that the village has a garden of flowers from where the flowers are fetched and used in the sanctum of Lord Venkateswara Swamy.

10.tHE CITY OF MIRACLES, IT IS!

Needless to mention, the lights lit in front of the Swamy are said to be lit since thousands of years.
Also, it remains a miracle that there is real hair on the main idol of Venkateswara Swamy. The authorities say that this hair never tangles and is silky smooth always.
