Chilkur Balaji Temple near Hyderabad: Experience of devotion, peace and divine energy in Navratri, a wonderful place in nature away from the city

Hyderabad: A few steps away from the grandeur of Hyderabad, the Shri Chilkur Balaji temple located in the lap of nature is a center of divine peace for devotees. This holy place dedicated to Lord Venkateswara is called “Tirupati of Hyderabad” due to its unique spiritual shade. The atmosphere here on the holy festival of Navratri becomes even more special when the temple resonates with special worship and hours of melodious sounds. According to a priest of the temple, the history of the temple is considered about 500 years old and is said to be an interesting story related to its establishment.

Once a very big devotee decided to go to Tirupati with a desire to see Lord Venkateswara. But during the journey he fell ill and stayed at a place called Chilkur near Hyderabad. That night, Lord Balaji came in his dream and said that he does not need to go to Tirupati. God said that he himself will sit at this place and welfare of the devotee. The next morning the devotee excavated that place according to the dream and attained a very beautiful statue of Lord Venkateswara there. This temple was built and built by installing this idol, since this incident, the belief spread that God himself has appeared in Chilkur for the devotees who do not have the ability to go to Tirupati. That is why it came to be called “Tirupati of Hyderabad”.
