India is a large and diverse country encompassing a number of beautiful spiritual towns. If you are looking for a serene spiritual holiday, then you are advised to go for a Tirupati darshan. Tirupati is a small town situated in South India’s Andhra Pradesh. It is a sedate and beautiful place replete with a number of temples. With the availability of Tirupati online booking, now it has become extremely easy to book hotels and lodges. That is why there has been a surge in the number of tourists visiting this soulful place.
During your Tirupati trip, you will experience spiritualism like never before. The sight of thousands of devotees congregating outside temples will have a calming effect on your city-wearied soul. From the fragrance of sandalwood to the sweet smell of garlands, everything about Tirupati is blissful and charming. Tirupati darshan or sighting of Lord Venkateswara (the chief deity of Tirupati) is a coveted affair. Pilgrims coming from every part of the country line up in serpentine queues to pay their homage to the deities! You will also spot sages and ‘sadhus’ in the crowd. The sight itself can be extremely soul-stirring and peace-evoking.
Tirupati boasts of hundreds of temples of all sizes and shapes. Most of them belong to the medieval age and have been crafted using the Dravidian style of architecture but you will also spot some modern ones as well. Some of the must-visit temples are Sri Venkateswara Temple, Sri Kodandaramaswami Temple, Sri Veda Narayanaswami Temple and Sri Annapurna Sameta Kasi Visweswaraswami Temple. You should also make it a point to pay visit to the tranquil Swami Pushkarini Lake.

Alternatively, you can book a hotel in advance under the Tirupati online booking system.
