Sri Japali Hanuman Temple
జాపాలి తీర్థం
A Hanuman temple and sacred pond at the end of a forest path, said to be the birthplace of Hanuman, in a quiet setting.
Japali lies in the forest north of Tirumala. From the road, it is about a 1-kilometer walk along a forest path to reach the temple, and in front of the temple is a pond known as the 'Japali Sacred Pond.' Legend says the sage Japali performed austerities here, and devotees believe the site is connected to the birthplace of Hanuman. Visitors are more numerous on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Monkeys are plentiful along the path, so do not carry exposed food. It can be visited together with Akasa Ganga.
