Beautiful temple with nature's attraction. Lord Shiva is the main god of this temple. Can have bath in theertham before going to visit god. Scenic attraction pours inside the temple. Have to wait in queue during weekends. As a tourist, must visit temple in Tirupati area.

Kapileswara Temple, dedicated Lord Shiva is located at the foot of Tirumala hills in Tirupati and has a scenic waterfall called Kapila Tirtham. It is a tradition that before worshipping Lord Venkateswara at the Tirupati Balaji Temple, devotees must worship Lord Kapileswara. Shiva, as Kapileswara, is the Kshetra Palaka of Tirumala Hills.
The main deity, Sri Kapileswara Swami, presents Himself in the form of a magnificent Linga in this cave like rock shrine. The Shivling is seen facing the Tirumala Hills. There are many other smaller shrines within the temple complex.
The word Kapila means ‘one who enjoys bliss.’ Lord Shiva is the epitome of eternal bliss and everlasting enjoyment of spiritual awakening. Thus, whoever worships Sri Kapileswara, with utmost devotion and dedication, will attain Kaivalya moksha.
Sage Kapila was in living Patala (one of the netherworlds) in his hermitage. During Treta Yuga, the 60,000 sons of King Sagara went to this hermitage in search of their holy cow and found it being tied near Sage’s hut. Accusing him as a thief they tried to attack Sage Kapila. The sage got angry at this misdeed and burnt them down into ashes.
Later Kapila came to earth, did penance at the foot of Tirumala hills, and had the darshan of Lord Shiva who manifested in the form of a Shivling. This same Shivling is now worshiped as Lord Kapileswara.

Awesome place to chill and involve in devotional activities. It's a very beautiful place with full of water fall from more than 200ft. The water is too pure and has a lot of minerals.

Very good, auspicious place to visit in Tirupathi. No water flow during this period. Will be flowing once rains start. The special entrance for darshan is just 5 rps.

Very nice Siva temple, maybe the only Shiva temple under Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board administration. The water falls inside the temple complex is beautiful. You need to visit during the monsoon season to enjoy this. It is located in Alipiri near the roads that lead to Tirumala. The Hanuman mandir located in the entrance of the Shiva temple is also very nice. If you travel by your own transport do stop here.

Excellent kalyani and waterfalls enjoyable by both kids and adults alike.
