Tirupati

Tirupati is one of the ancient pilgrimage centers in India. The shrine sits atop seven hills, a unique example of the Dravidian architecture. The temple has an exquisitely carved Gopuram facing the east. The Vimana is completely covered with the gold plate, known as Ananda Nilayam. The annual festival, held in September every year, attracts thousands of pilgrims from all over the country.
