About Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Temple
The Kalyana Venkateswara Temple at Srinivasa Mangapuram is where, according to tradition, the marriage of Lord Venkateswara and Padmavathi was celebrated — which makes it a natural pilgrimage complement to both Tirumala and Tiruchanur. The temple is substantially less crowded than either, the architecture is beautifully maintained, and the rituals here have a celebratory quality that reflects the wedding mythology. Newlyweds and couples seeking blessings make up a large part of the pilgrimage.
