On the back drop of my cousins marriage we had the chance to visit Tirupathi.
It was my second trip to Tirupathi, but first in train. The Tirupathi passenger reached Tirupathi at 6:00am (Left Majestic, b'lore at 8:30pm - One of the longest journey :( route to Tirupathi ) And went to Tirumala engaing a maxi cab(Tirupathi - Tirumala 22km). After getting fresh we engaged the same cab to visit places around Tirupathi. We visited Hanuman Statue, Kapila theertha, ISCKON temple, Srinivasa Mangapuram, Padmavathi Ammam, Sri Kalahasthi(Pictures down in order. Tirupathi - Kalahasti 33km). It was good fun to tour around with cousins and relatives.

The next day early morning we had Timmappa Darshan (AAD- Archana Anantha Darshanam 6:00am). The remaining day was spent on attending the marriage. We left Tirumala amid heavy rain to catch the Mysore Passenger train at 9:30pm, which will take us back to Bangalore.
