Sri Venkateshwara Temple

Photograph of the Sri Venkateshwara Temple which is currently under construction. Before building work started, the earth in the area was raised approximately 20 feet, to add to the elevation and also to give the structure a good perspective from the pradakshina road. This photograph was in fact taken from the outer pradakshina path.


Kamadhenu (from Kama = desire, wish + dhenu, milch cow):

According to Hindu mythology, Devata Kamadhenu is a Divine Cow believed to be the mother of all cows. She can grant any wish of the true seeker and hence is termed the cow of plenty.

If you look closely at the photograph, you will notice that Devata Kamadhenu is bathing the Lingam underneath with milk from her udder.

This shrine is located in the front of the Sri Venkateshwara Temple which is currently under construction.
