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.
If you found this post useful, I would really love it, if you can Like the Page, or share it with your Facebook/Google+/Twitter Friends... It will keep me motivated. Thank you!
PARENTS FAMILY DEITY (KULADEVATA )
Its a practice to visit and worship the Kula Devata on all special auspicious occasions like
marriage, childbirth, when buying a house or when starting a new
venture.. Some people visit family diety every year..
But after marriage we could not visit my Family deity for couple of years.. My parents were planning to go to Family deity, so we decided to tag along.. My brother Mahesh also joined us...
My parents Family diety is Shankara Lingaeshwara and Swaramma - In small town called Pavgada, Madhgiri Taluk.
Its around 5hours drive from our house.. So we started early morning... Its basically a village.. So we had our breakfast on the way and packed few snacks and Lunch for afternoon..
It was noon by the time we reached.. Though temple was closed, since we come from far away place the purohit opened the temple and did pooja..Its a small temple in an open place..

After pooja, we finished lunch and started back..
Overall it was 10hours journey to and fro.. But since its village and not much places to see around we always make it in a one day trip..
