Lord Venkateswara is believed to have appeared in Tirumala to save humankind from trials and troubles of Kali Yuga. Hence the place is also known as ‘Kaliyuga Vaikuntha’ and the Lord is worshipped as ‘Kaliyuga Prathyaksha Deivam.’ This place of worship is also known as Tirumala Temple, Tirupati Temple and Tirupati Balaji Temple, to name a few, while Lord Venkateswara is also revered as Balaji, Govinda, and Srinivasa. The deity changed into a granite stone idol for it was his wish to be on the sacred Seven Hills for the emancipation of humankind.
While the actual date of appearance of the Lord is unknown, according to Indian history, later construction, conforming to Dravidian Architecture belonged to 300 AD. The Garbagruha (Sanctum Sanctorum) is called Ananda Nilayam. The Presiding Deity (Lord Venkateswara) is in standing posture and faces east in Garbagruha. The Temple was constructed in 300 AD conforming to the Dravidian Architecture.
All along the way, the Prayer is that the dream of almost three decades should become a reality; for Sri Venkateswara Devasthanam in Auckland will not just be a place of Worship.
