TIRUPATI (OUR KULADEVATHA)

My parents Kuladevatha( Family god) is Lord Shiva..  Ramesh's family god is Lord Balaji in Tirupati. 


After Marriage we tried visiting Tirupati almost every year.

We always go on a APDTC package trip..  Its an AC volvo bus, we start on friday night and reach Tirupati around 2 or 3am. A room is alloted to take bath and get ready. Bus picks up around 5am..

First he takes us to Tiruchanoor to visit Padmavathi, after that we he drops us near a hotel to have breakfast.

After breakfast we are transferred to a Tempo which goes up the hill to visit Lord Balaji on Tirumala hills.. There we are asked to drop our Cell phones and Slippers in a store and collect acknowledgement..

We join a Seegra Darshan group and maximum 2 to 3hrs we get the Darshan... After darshan we collect our cell phones and Slippers back and take the  AC Volvo bus again. 

He starts to bangalore, on the way stops for lunch.

By saturday 8 or 9pm we are in bangalore.. Cost of this trips is around 1500 per person. Bit costly but AC bus a hotel to take bath and mainly getting darshan in 2 to 3hrs makes it worth. 

There are lots of temples and places of interest to visit near Tirupati. Some day we should  go on own and try to cover those places.
