Sri Venkateswara Swamy Garbhagriha
The Varaha Purana proclaims that Sri Venkateswara Swamy is the visible and living Divine of the Kali Yuga. In our temple, Sri Venkateswara Swamy will preside in the main sanctum sanctorum. The Garbhagriha of Sri Venkateswara Swamy is designed with the traditional architectural components of Upapeetha, Adhishthana, Pada, Prastara, and Vimana. On the three outer sides of the sanctum, in the sacred niches known as Devakoshtas, the Vaishnava Koshta deities—Sri Narasimha Swamy, Sri Vaikuntha Narayana, and Sri Varaha Swamy—will be enshrined.
Lord Venkateswara: Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy, with His four divine arms, holds the sacred Shankha and Chakra. Upon His holy chest, He bears Goddess Adi Lakshmi. One of His hands is in Varada Mudra, bestowing blessings, while another rests in Kati Hasta, symbolizing divine majesty and protection. Standing gracefully upon a lotus pedestal, the Lord is adorned with all celestial ornaments and divine splendour.
Srivari Vimanam
The sanctum of Sri Venkateswara Swamy is designed by harmoniously blending the sculptural traditions of the Pallava and Chola styles. The Vimanam is envisioned in the spirit of Ananda Nilayam, the divine tower over the sanctum. Along with the Vimana Kantha deities, four seated forms of Sri Garudalwar in Anjali Mudra will be placed on all four sides of the Vimana, symbolizing eternal devotion and service to the Lord.
