Pressured to make the most visited holy cities in the world, a single power judge in Mecca or Jerusalem. Leadership perhaps. But the Tirupati label will not remove the glossa of many fillings, at least not the umpteen surface Bharat.
Soothe, the tabernacle above this port in southern India is known for attracting more than a million visitors every year, thousands a day and tens of thousands with a brave life. That makes it not only one of the most treasured shrines by pilgrims on the rich site of the Commonwealth with its colorful landscapes but also the richest temple to the discoverer. It has been said that when Tirupati pulled out its gold, the state of Bombay's financial markets overflowed.
When I visited with my wife Radhika on a typical midweek day, the act of entering the temple, the direct thought of the road offered for paying a few rupees, was hours. Most of the thousands who are already waiting are waiting to be away from someone, escaping a trivial fall under a small sheet of paper, with pillars near the tabernacle, or squeezing themselves through a pipeline that eliminates the claustrophobic alloy corral, the equivalent of a cattle slideway.
What attracts the masses to this computer is the god Balaji, known as Venkateshwara, a dark-skinned god with a surprisingly well-rounded eye hidden by a diamond veil, and his subsequent pursuit has blossomed in recent days, making him one of the greatest and richest religious deities.
In Faith's inexperienced and varied family, what makes Balaji so strong? Clearly, he is liberating. He is a god, whose portrait is sometimes translated as "the helper of unclean riches," with an unreadable book of the coming to be completed by his devotees, so that his followers may make him a face of wonder and boundless mercy.
One of the unusual manifestations of Balaji's demonstration power is the revolution Tirupati is known for striking with cut hair. In answer to their prayers, the Balaji devotees often cut off their heads and pretended to walk up Tirumala - the highest point where the temple once stood - more and more scribes walking on horizontal kilometers up steep slopes. Many messages replace their offspring.
Touch of weight is seen as the content and method of disinfection to know and strip any combination of table and fittings, and on top of Tirumala, barbers and discarded heads are as numerous as the stalls of small merchants who trick everything from beating Balaji watches and Balaji key chains to bangles and football caps.
For the Hesperian traveler (who, on this particular day, seemed to be reassuring), the unusual use and "interaction" of the site, when the fashionable, bright color of Hotel Blissfulness smiles down with satisfaction at the departure of the brethren, seems to be almost always in Disney view. In part, the treasures of the tabernacle provided Tirupati with an indication of the seemingly uninhabited landscape of Baratra.

Tirumala is approached by a wide beach set in the archives of the temple's wide barn and where the six lanes of the meeting path are neatly separated by a central molded tree with flowers and flowers. The traveling agency to the tabernacle, which may be dangerous under any new environment, climbs to the top of a mountain with a drink that goes in a certain direction, with cement barriers that connect visitors to the barracks. For those who are paid, the closed steps that climb the mountain are protected from the sun's rays by the built-in roof.
At the top of the mountain, there is a common absence of the poor celebrity that is often found in the outer temples of Bharat. A docket is set up advising travelers on the types of prayers that can be offered in their call for terms of their content.
And in a remarkable effort to travel around a group-filled country like any other class, guests are numbered with heart-shaped bar-coded hearts as they purchase their tickets and hand out spectacular jewelry that tells them the experience, often for hours away, when they can move the line.
These rich landmarks stand in stark contrast with the urban landscape of Andhra Pradesh, one of India's smallest provinces. Routes to Tirupati, such as ropes, unsafe and confined, where the cover 80 miles north of the State can see for hours, meet with a variety of unconventional confusion that makes the company’s journey to Bharat bold, and nerve-jangling.
Set, strength, courage, is the fastest problem that can be taken in a day when using a taxi (about $ 70), as we do. Sadly, it did not give us enough guidance to follow the tabernacle, which non-Hindus could do. But don’t equate your belief, the locomote itself is a zilch if not a trip.
Crosswalk enters Andhra from the combined names of Dravidian Nadu, the landscape changing with emphasis and a few specially formed hills, one sloping in the fin of the shark fin, defining themselves as the masters of many real objects living in Tirupati. Road signs change from the loose Tamilian script to another massive cloud, the Dravidian, which resembles stylish waves fitted with hiicoglyphic pelicans.
In this field of farming, a complex and sometimes dangerous process with modern infusions, as locals spread the dry stalks of their crops throughout the agency to be sprayed on the wheels of travel machinery, and then sew the grain into neritic baskets. Abundance of anchorage, idle oxen, their glorious horns adorned with silverns and red and nature reserves, dropped below the number of fringed wooden carts, and women carried brobdingnagian hay bales on their heads that they were left behind and hid saris theirs, even facing punishment and evil as travel, thousands daily take this journey to Balaji. India owns the most beautiful and magnificent temples, but it does not bother with Balaji, the faithful who is expected to rehabilitate vulnerable older people as well, restore strength to the sick, and bring prosperity to the poor.
Although the origin of the god himself remains unclear, the art of the temple evidently began gradually between the 10th and 12th centuries. The supremacy, Tirumala, is revered almost as often as the system itself as the breadth of parts of the intricate and great myth of the god Vishnu, the custodian of the Faith trilogy, of which Balaji is the epitome.
In the event that he is tempted to reach the lowest level of work, Balaji may select the perfect nettlesome regional leader who is often excluded from such guidelines as the vast differences in regions, cultures and languages.
As Nanditha Avatar, an ethno-archaeologist who wrote a book about Balaji, described her, she is the Dravidian goddess of Andhra whose beauty comes from northern India whose reliance on women in Maharashtra means, on the main coast, and is believed to be an opposition to the pan-Indian god. The majority of the devotees are also Muslims.
On this day presented at the top of Tirumala, the features and costumes of the newly constructed guests, some of which are dressed in their picnic recommended, have revealed their origins across the country. While many slept cramped under the bed on a real base, some crouched around their children, different children playing and vendors working on criminal matters, postcards and toys that were not easy, inexplicable good-looking tubes were inserted through holes that could be filled with chalk and folded to arrange funny patterns. A few of the richest among those waiting for cigarettes are set.
Then, when the lowly gray clouds hovered over the heights and decided to pull themselves out again, announcing that their chosen experience had come to save the tabernacle, a group of pilgrims climbed the stairs and ended the fall of the cast to eagerly purchase their goal.
