SRI VENKATESWARA MUSEUM, TIRUMALA

Climbing the steps was a task, but surely a magical touch and treat. Blessed to visit, truly a call from God.
Meeting some beauties - from the wild (see photo) was like a cherry topping.
Disadvantage was with handling of the crowd which was extremely very poor.

Sri Venkateshwara Museum is located just opposite to Exit Gate No. 4 (Laddu Counter) of Tirumala Tirupati Temple. SV Museum is the best place to experience the Traditional History of Tirumala and the Hindu. This is not only for the aged people and also kids can enjoy and rejoice their timings. Right now this SV Museum is under renovation. I hope it will be opened after January 2024.

Great history experience with amazing galleries and walkways with nicely done lighting at all areas. Must visit to explore spaces and artefacts of historic temple tirupati

One of the best places to see in Tirumala, I think it's closed now and they are modifying/renewating the museum. Better to enquire and go to the place before you plan your visit.

:The museum is open EVERY DAY from 8 am to 8 pm. Entry is free and works seven days a week.

It houses a library with books in Telugu, English, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi on religion, history, heritage, temple arts and architecture. It serves the curious pilgrims and research scholars doing research on Tirumala history. Harini, the auditorium in the S.V. Museum is now planning to show interesting programs, documentaries, films on Tirumala and heritage everyday from 10 am to 6 pm.

After or before the darshan of lord Venkateswara spend some time in the S V Museum and get enlightened with the hoary past and colorful present.

To enhance the spiritual ambience among the devotees thronging to Tirumala to get the darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy, TTD has introduced traditional dress code in 2013. Initially it was implemented for the pilgrims who are taking part in Arjitha Sevas and now it has been extended to VIP pilgrims seeking break darshan of Lord Sri Venkateshwara Swamy, and general pilgrims who go for darshan.

MEN: For men the dress code is dhoti or pyjamas with upper cloth.
WOMEN: For women the preferred dress code is saree or half-saree with blouse or churidar with pyjama and upper cloth

Venkateswara, an avatar of Vishnu, is the presiding deity of the Tirupati temple. It is believed that the deity is Swayambhu (self manifested). The deity possesses the power of the Trimurti: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and some sects believe that Venkateswara holds the power of Shakthi and Skanda as well. Sage Annamacharya praised Venkateswara as the 'Supreme Lord' who appears as Dattatreya for yogis, Shiva for Shaivas, and appears as whichever form the devotee desires.

the S.V. Museum is situated in a sprawling building with an area of 1.25 lakh sq.ft opposite to Vaikuntham Queue Complex in kaleidoscopic environ of Tirumala surrounded by beautiful gardens and it is a rejoicing place for visiting pilgrims. This museum is an epitome of Traditions of Tirumala, Vaishnavism and Hindu culture. It houses more than 6000 items of historical interest ranging in date from very early period to the present. The collections are spread over ten sections ranging from archaeology to contemporary items.

Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh has been a repository of rich heritage, cherished by the kings, nobles, poets, sculptures, dancers, musicians all gathered in Tirumala and enriched the temple lore. It contains valuable antique materials to enable an art historian to trace the history and development of temple art.

I think this is the best place to get information about Tirumala but Many people don’t know about this museum .This museum has many ancient things like idols,coins, swords, music instruments, different types of stones etc.. related to this temple & kings.There's no entry ticket, should leave
footwear @entrance & photo's are prohibited inside the museum. Main attractions are Bapu's beautiful paintings & amazing sculptures. It takes 45mins to 2hrs to visit this place.
#Must visit this museum when you come to Tirumala

Situated very near to Govinda raja Perumal temple. Rare colection of statues, old photos of Tirumala temple, so many idols and more to explore. Just go and you can spend an hour to explore. It is very big museum.
