Venkatachalapathy Temple In Tirunelveli

Venkatachalapathy Temple

                    When I told the locals about how amazed I was by the architecture of the Nellaiappar Temple, they told me to go to Krishnapuram. Krishnapuram is a small temple village near Tirunelveli, and once I reached, I understood why the locals had asked me to come here. The village is home to the Venkatachalapathy Temple, another grand architectural marvel. Unlike the Nellaiappar Temple, the presiding deity here is Venkatachalapathy, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The most spectacular architectural sight here is the gopuram, which is extremely bright and colorful. The locals told me that the origins of this temple go back almost 9000 years.
