Sri Govindaraja Temple Tirupathi

Shri Govindaraja Temple
Tirupathi, Andhra Pradesh

Govindarajaswamy Temple, located at Chittoor District is one of the most important & ancient temples in Tirupati. Sri Ramanujacharya, did Prathista here. Before Govindaraja Prathista, Parthasarathi was main diety here. 

It is said that Sri Govindaraja Swamy is the elder brother of Sri Venkateswara Swamy who managed massive wealth being borrowed from king Kubera for the marriage of Venkateswara Swamy with Padmavathi Ammavaru. 

Govindaraja Swamy efficiently managed all wealth & hence Govindarajar is worshipped as god who helps to manage our wealth. Ramanujacharya had a dream of Govindarajar to do Prathista in a particular place. 

When Ramanuchar visited that place, he found this Vigraham and thus was Prathista done. There are two sannidhi here, Govindarajar and Parthasarathy. 

Govinda
