Srivari Padalu
శ్రీవారి పాదాలు
The footprints on Narayanagiri, the highest peak of Tirumala, where devotees believe Venkateswara first set foot when he descended to the hills.
The Srivari Padalu footprints are on the summit of Narayanagiri. Devotees believe they are the footprints of the deity left when he descended from heaven onto the Seven Hills. The stone footprints are covered with silver ornaments. The summit offers distant views of Tirumala town and the surrounding hills and is a good spot for watching sunrise. Visitors take a vehicle to the middle of the mountain and then climb a flight of steps. The round trip takes about 1 to 2 hours, and hired cars are the main means of transport.
