Tirupathi.

After almost 15 years gap I have seen tirupathi.

It was a very good experience.

First Day : We have started our programe with the trip to Kanipakam and we went to (( Golden temple ), please visit my next post for golden temple), Kalyana Srinivasulu, Alivelu mangapuram, etc. total package in a car 2500 rupees and then we reached our room and had dinner and slept.

I still dont understand why TIRUPATHI is so disastrous when compared to tirumala. The roads completely filled dirt. No proper care has been taken care for the statues. Smell sucks. Tirupathi is worst.

Tirumala :

you have to travel in a vehicle from tirupathi to tirumala ( this is the actual pilgrim place ) in a ghaat road. The journey is really good and the security is damn tight. As we have the room in advance, So, no troubles.

Who said the metropolitan cities are costly ? I bet you, come and live in Tirumala. Head and shoulders shampoo 4 rs ( actual cost 3). Coffee 7rs ( actual cost 5 ), okay.. leave those..

Finally, we have seen the kalyanam of lord Venkateswara ( ppl still fighting for the seats like city busses,damn. )

Caution : No Jeans and T-shirt for Males and not even kurta paizama, only pancha and without shirt.

Ladies no salwar,jeans etc.Only Saree ( adhi kooda pattu cheera, lekapothe one simple cotton saree).No printed sarees.

I dont know whether it is good or not.

Darshanam was very quick.good. came back to hotel. Had lunch ( most trouble, you hardly get hotels).

engaged the same car ( driver Mr.Murali is so good ) and visited the near by places akasa ganga, papa vinasanam,baba haathiram place etc.

Still money makers in the name of god ( like voluntary purohits who are demanding for money).

People such kind sukssss.

Totally, the entire trip was good ( Because of the darshanam and kalyanam ). Tirumala is good. tirupathi is not at all good. Not even bus station.

PS: TO book a tkt to bangalore you have to book from KSRTC.. I am not degrading APSRTC. Because, its ticket point at tirumala not available.
