Tirupati is one of the most visited holy pilgrimage places for the followers of Hindu religion from all over the world. Located amidst seven hills, called Tirumala hills, the abode of Lord Venkateshwara is sacred, breathtakingly beautiful and completely serene. The hills are sprawled over 10.33 square miles and rise to a height of 980 meters or 3200 feet above sea level. The seven hills are named Seshadri, Neeladri, Garudadri, Anjanadri, Vrushabadri, Narayanadri and the seventh hill, on which the temple resides, is Venkatadri. The seven hills together are called Seshachalam or Venkatachalam.
