Congregation
Voices of Devotion
Memories of prayer and belonging, published only with consent and review.
This is an extraordinarily powerful temple. I believe that when someone comes here with sincere faith, prays wholeheartedly and makes a sacred vow, Lord Venkateswara listens. The Lord’s grace has touched generations of families connected with this temple, including my own.
More memories from devotees and railway families are being collected for the Golden Jubilee archive.
