Tirupati Balaji
- Published May 12, 2024
Located in Maval village, roughly 36 km from Mount Abu and Abu Road, this newly established temple is modeled after the famous Tirupati Balaji Shrine of Andhra Pradesh. Known as Sri Vijaya Venkateshwara Tirupati Balaji Dham, it blends traditional architecture with regional devotion.
History & Significance
Built over approximately 2.5 years by a dedicated team of about 600 artisans, the temple replicates key architectural elements of the original Tirupati temple—featuring similar gates, idol form, and worship practices.
The temple’s pran-pratishtha (consecration ceremony) took place from October 21 to 26, marking its formal opening to devotees.
Temple Architecture & Rituals
Designed in Dravidian style, with gates and layout resembling the Tirumala Temple complex.
Daily rituals, aarti, and prasadam offerings follow the traditional format of the original temple, with priests invited from Tirupati to perform ceremonies.
Why It Matters
It is one of the first temples in Rajasthan built specifically in the style of the Tirupati Balaji temple, offering devotees a similar sacred experience without traveling far.
It provides a quiet spiritual retreat in the Aravalli foothills—ideal for prayer, contemplation, and photography.
