Chakra Theertham - Thirupathi

Been somewhat hectic last couple of months..! Finally I could manage a post..! Continuing on my Tirupathi trip..Hope you like it..!

Chakra Teertham is one among the seventeen sacred lakes or Tirthas near Tirupati Balaji Temple. It is believed that water from these seventeen lakes merge in the Swami Pushkarini Lake. Legend has it that a devotee of Venkateswara named Padmanabha worshipped the Lord here for 12 years.

Tirupathi Rock Garden

Rare geological rock arch is atop the seven hills. This is the only one of its kind in the whole of Asia. Only two other arches are known to exist in the world..Interesting story & details can be found in wikipedia
Nothing much to see in this place other than this rock arch.. A few pictures of it is for you to enjoy...!













Behind the grils it was quite challenging to get a decent focus.. moreover the peacok was wandering here and there..








There was a small garden beside the arch.. But the entry was closed.. Clicked a few pictures from the outerside of the fence..
