My recent visit to tirupathi
  • I have learnt quiet a lot in this forum.(Due to lack of time and
    because of the sudden exposure to the heat i could not explore much)

    especially when i went to Tirumala i was watching the Ranga mahal
    supposed to be place where the Ranga idol was kept away during Malik
    kafur invasion in 1320?- Swami desikan adn Periya vachan pillai.

    Also the numerous pillars inside the main temple was full of ramayana
    whereas the surrounding ones where they keep Sugreeva, Anjaneya,
    near to the kitchen were Mahabharata motifs.

    I also found Ramanuja charya at all Govindarajapuram, Trichanoor and
    tirumalai temples.

    Also the Govinda raja swami temple pillars were plain but into the
    left most mandapam near to thirumangai azhwar we have detailed
    pillars
    and very well carved.

    Definitely there should be different periods associated with each of
    the mantapams because the structure or architecture were different
    and i could see tamil kalvettus inside and telugu kalvettus outside.
    I couls only read amudhu so i assumed it should be some grant for
    preparing prasadam?

Howdy, Stranger!
