Srivari Mettu Tirumala Tirupathi Foot Yatra ย
Srivari Mettu is one of the oldest and most sacred traditional footpaths leading to Tirumala, the divine abode of Lord Venkateswara. The name literally means "The Lord's Footsteps," symbolizing the sacred path believed to have been walked by the Lord Himself.
According to Puranic tradition, after the divine marriage of Lord Venkateswara and Goddess Padmavathi, they stayed at Sage Agasthya's Ashram near Srinivasa Mangapuram. It is believed that Lord Venkateswara ascended the Tirumala Hills through Srivari Mettu, making this route exceptionally sacred for devotees.Walking this path is therefore considered not just a pilgrimage, but a journey in the footsteps of the Lord.

๐ Deep spiritual significance and divine connection.
๐ Ancient pilgrimage path associated with Lord Venkateswara.
๐ฟ Peaceful surroundings that enhance devotion and meditation.
๐ช A meaningful act of penance through physical effort.
โค๏ธ A deeply emotional and spiritually fulfilling journey.
