Dwaraka Tirumala Temple
West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh

Dwaraka Tirumala Temple is located in West Godavari District. Sri Venkateswara is Kaliyuga Vaikunta Vasa. This place is also called Chinna Tirupati meaning Small Tirupathi. Place is called Dwaraka Tirumala after a Saint Dwaraka, who found out the Swayambhu Vigraham. 

Aja Maharaja, the Grand father of Sri Rama worshiped Venkateswara Sway for his marriage. But on his way to the Swayamvaram with Indumati,  he did not offer worship even while passing the temple. Aja Maharaja was forced to face a battle with other kings, but soon realized his mistake. Raja prayed to Venkateswara swamy and suddenly all the Kings stopped the battle. 

Those who are not able to worship in Tirumala, worship Venkateshwara Swamy in Chinna Tirupathi, which is considered equal. Temple is surrounded by rivers like Krishna and Godavari. Venkateshwara is Swayambhu here.

Thiru Kalyanotsavam is very famous here. 

Om Namo Venkateswaraya
