Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Temple, Srinivasa Mangapuram
శ్రీ కళ్యాణ వేంకటేశ్వర స్వామి ఆలయం
Said to be where Venkateswara and Padmavathi lived after their marriage. Newlywed couples often come here to pray, and it is peaceful with few crowds.
The temple lies about 12 km west of Tirupati and enshrines Venkateswara in his wedding form. Legend holds that after marrying Padmavathi, the deity stayed here for six months before moving up the hill to settle permanently. The main idol is tall and majestic, and the temple preserves Vijayanagara-period murals and inscriptions. It is managed by TTD. Far fewer people visit than Tirumala, so you can pray in peace. Nearby is the starting point of the Srivari Mettu steps, and you can easily continue on to Chandragiri Fort.
