Tirupati
How can any one visit India without seeing their breath taking
temples? Tirupati, the richest temple in India, is the most active
religious pilgrimage destination on earth, drawing more than 10
million devoted pilgrims every year. Get ready to put on your sneakers
and a couple of bottles of water because the lines here will make
you wait for hours, even days, just to see the diamond decorated
black stone idol of Lord Venkateshwara. Tirumala Tirupati is known
for the lovely idol of the presiding deity that is located in the
main sanctum of this temple. There is a tiny museum that is located
within the Tirumala Tirupati temple that houses a fascinating collection
of musical instruments and other religious exhibits. If all the
jewel incrusted idols and deities don’t leave you breathless,
the long waiting on line will!
