Tirupati and Tirumala

Tirupati is small town ,which is located beneath tirumala hills. The city has very good climate with very pleasant temperatures all over the year. The best time to visit is from October to March.
From here we hired jeep 35 RS/person to reach at top to temple.We had done all our room bookings ,as
well as darshan ticket bookings previously by internet. So we had no problem of getting room. My advice to everyone who wants to visit the temple book your tickets via internet ,so
you will get more time there.
We confirmed our registrations & reached varahswami guest house.After getting fresh we all just visited bazzar there as our darshanam ticket was of next day.
We decided for to have a 'mundan'. 'Mundan' is called giving all hairs of the head to lord venkateshwara (balaji). Almost every person who comes here does the 'MUNDANAM'.
After that we visited bazzar. Here in bazzar you get all the items related to tirupati. After that we decided to take a meal at 10:30 pm . We had been told that the food items availeble here were made with coconut oil but, we found that it was not true. So we enjoyed our meal. The food items available here are iddli, dosa, uttapam, all type of rice & some Chinese items. Then we went to guest house and sleep.
