Tirupati Balaji Darshan

Tirupati is a very nice pilgrimage of Hindu devotees. I went there in August 2018. The weather was little hot that time. We reached Tirupati at midnight. You have to take a bus to go to Tirupati temple as it is located on Tirumala hills. It is one hour drive from Tirupati railway station or bus stand.
The scenic natural beauty of Tirupati is simply awesome and wonderful.
There are free services on Tirumala for staying and for transportation. The temple of Lord Govinda is world's 2nd richest temple and it is really BIG. There is huge crowd throughout the year i.e.24x365 hrs. I have one personal experience which I can't share over here but the moral of that experience is here for all devotees.
If you really believe in Lord from deep inside your heart, then no one can stop you from having the Darshan of Lord Tirupati. Not even the long waiting.
But now a days from since 2013 here is dress code. According to this code, a woman devotee can wear saree or a chudidar with chunni, whereas a male devotee can wear dhoti or lungi with uttareeyam or kurta-pyjama. "A simple shirt and trousers are also allowed, but it would be ideal if men wear dhoti and uttariyam. Other than these traditional dresses, no other outfits like bermudas, T-shirts, jeans, shorts and other Western-style dresses are permitted," a TTD official said.
