SIGHTSEEING
TIRUPATI TEMPLE
The town of Tirupati came into existence only about the middle of the
twelfth century, with the foundation of the Govindarajaswami temple.
Before this time there was a small village, named Kottur, to the
north-east of Kapilatirtham, situated about two miles to the north of
the modern town.
THE
GOVINDARAJASWANI TEMPLE
This temple is the main attraction for the pilgrims at Tirupati and the
biggest temple in town.
