About Temples

Temples in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh has some of the most beautiful temples of South India. The language of the state, Telugu, considered to be one of the classical languages, is the one in which most devotional songs exist. A recent study by the Anthropological Survey of India has revealed that many Indians follow more than one religion. In most parts of India, Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism flourished at the same time (from the last few centuries of the pre-Christian era to the 10th-11th century AD). Thereafter, Islam also joined the three religions and the interactive culture, architecture and traditions became all the richer for it. Andhra Pradesh presents a wonderful opportunity to observe the sharing of religious spaces. The rise of both Buddhism and Jainism in Andhra desa, as in other parts of India, was marked by the many prayer houses they left behind, called differently as stupas and basadis. Muslim rulers built many new mosques and converted some temple complexes into mosques. Andhra has been able to preserve a wonderful form of Hinduism too. Many ancient Hindu texts have been translated into Telugu from Sanskrit since ancient times.


The Chalukyan, the Dravidian, the Nagara, and the Orissan styles of temple architecture can be seen in Andhra Pradesh. The Tirupati is the most visited pilgrim center and the richest temple. It is an ancient temple, which has the idol of the Lord Balaji or Venkatachalapati. The Sree Sailam temple is famous because it is one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Shiva. Sree Sailam is near Kurnool and has the idol of the Mallikarjun in an ancient style. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya composed the Sivandalahiri in this temple. The Alampur Nava Brahma temple has 9 ancient temples were constructed from 7th century onwards. It is the gateway to Sree Sailam. They are dedicated to the Lord Shiva. The Drakashrama is famous for one of the Pancharama temples. According to the legends, the Shivalingam held by demon Tarak broke into 5 pieces and fell at 5 Pancharama kshetram. Simhachalan means 'hill of lion'. The southern Chola kings and Gangas of Orissa patronized this temple. The Sree Kalahasti temple is one of the Panchabhoota temples of Shiva.

LAKSHMI NARAYAN TEMPLE (BIRLA MANDIR)

Location : Mandir Marg, New Delhi

Constructed By : Industrialist B.D.Birla in 1938

Presiding Deity : Lakshmi Narayan - Lord Vishnu

Best Time To Visit : Janamashtami, Deepawali

The one thing that dominates the urbane skyline of Central Delhi is apparently the soaring spire of the Lakshmi Narayan Temple. About 1.5 km due west of Connaught Place, this garish, modern, Orissan styled temple was erected by industrialist B.D.Birla in 1938 and was inaugrated by Mahatma Gandhi on the condition that people of all castes especially untouchables would be allowed in. The temple enshrines almost all the deities of the Hindu Pantheon, the presiding deity being Narayan (Vishnu, the preserver in Hindu trinity) and his consort Lakshmi, the Goddess of prosperity and good fortune. The revered shrine, nestling in the heart of the city, is as famous for its sanctity as for its architecture. Portraying an alluring blend of cream and red, the sacred shrine also affords a curious medley of Hindu mythology and ancient Indian architecture. Enjoy a visit to the temple to savour spirituality and legends, served in a different flavour.

The architecture is amazing. Built in the Nagara style of architecture interspersed with modern influences, the Birla Mandir awakes from the womb of lush green Link Road reigning the whole terrain. The temple faces the east and is adorned with exquisite carvings depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. The other awe-inspiring thing is apparently the soaring spires of the shrine. You will be amazed to see the main spire (shikhara), nestling above the sanctum sanctorum, soaring with its head high at almost 160 ft. Enjoy a leisure walk through the spacious corridors and you will be overwhelmed to see such beautiful friezes and artistic sculptures that only add to the aesthetic beauty of this temple. Do you know that 101 skilled pundits from Varanasi, headed by Acharya Vishvanath Shastri, were employed to create this magic in stones. Remember to visit the Buddha shrine, the rippleless walls embellished with fresco paintings depicting the Lord's life and work. Children can also enjoy their hearts out at the miniature rock temples nestling at the backyard of the temple. There is also an arena said to be the erstwhile gym of Bhima, the second Pandava of the Mahabharata fame. An artificial landscape complete with mountains and cascading waterfalls makes for a perfect solitude.

Lord Venkateswara most sought after God!!

Lord Venkateswara is the Lord for this kali yug. He is famous with other names like lord balaji and govinda. Lord venkateswara is very kind to help any one who prays to Him for help. Tirupathi temple is the abode of lord venkateswara and this tirupati (tirumala) has highest earnings in the world and larger than vatican city. The miracles that lord balaji shows are innumerable. The sorroundings of tirupathi awoke the waves of bhakti on lord venkateswara swamy and the name govinda will be always sung on the tongues of the bhaktas of lord venkateswara. No other God to protect all the people other than lord venkateswara in this kali yuga, as said vina venkatesam na naatho na natha..To know thyself properly , some of the common principles should be understood clearly. These common things will be complicated when analyze to understand. For example , great gurus, teachers say that you can not do business with God, or can not have a deal with God that you will offer some portion of your unexpected profits to him if He helps you. They strongly discourage this habit and they say it is foolishness to offer that way.

But if you see in daily life, the pilgrims and devotees to Tirupathi balaji (Lord venkateswara) are increasing day by day by hundreds and the offerings to Lord venkateswara is raising millions by millions. No other God or temple in the world is getting that much income as Lord Venkateswara do,for the past hundred years. The reason is this: Tirupathi (tirupati) balaji is very famous as aapada mokkula vadu, vaddi kasula vadu, which means that he is the lord who hears to help you in misfortunes, Lord Venkateswara is the lord who likes to take interest, money as a tribute for his help. Normal pundits, normal preachers can not explain how god takes money from devotees. But the cosmic creation is such a wonderful thing that there are many places which human pundits can not explain.

Lord venkateswara or lord balaji listens to bhaktas of three types.. aarthi, artharthi, jnani. He favours specially jignasu also.. when ever there is a danger or problem, people cry , plead for the help of venkateswara of tirupathi (govinda.. govinda). He listens to their call with lot of attention and helps them to come out of the danger easily. Thats why tirupathi balaji has thousands of bhakatas coming to him, by walk or by bus and paying their tribute or offering with lot of bhakti. If you want to know the bhakti you must see tirupathi.

Lord Venkateswara Speciality
Lord venkateswara has taken loan from the god of riches kubera so much money for his marriage and pledged that he would be paying off the interest on the loan from the collections of tirupati temple. So, if you pray to Him that you will offer some portion of the money from the doubtful deal , you may get it in such a way that it was possible only through his help and grace. So the devotee , who got such a benefit come and secretly drops millions of money in the donation box. This became a regular feature which became common to common man. But, we have to analyze and learn some thing from this. Though religious gurus say this is not possible, Lord venkateswara, or Tirupathi balaji likes to help his devotees in their business deals . This is possible only through the form of Lord venkateswara of Tirupathi and he is pleased when they visit Him and pay off his portion. No body can command God to be like this way or that way. We have to observe what is happening around and learn about His ways.This balaji temple is in Tirupathi, andhra pradesh, India. It is Vatican city of Hindu religion.
