Tirupati

Many years ago when I was a student at Andhra University, I was delighted to travel to Tirupati as a member of the university tennis team. It was quite the experience to play in the South Zone finals with my friend and co-captain Jayanth Bhayankar. After the tournament was over, we and other team members made the walk to the Tirumala (Sri Venkateswara) Temple at the top of Venkatachala, the seventh peak. Quite the holy place and quite the experience for a young African-American student.

Meet the Lord Venkateshwara here at the seven hills.

The land of God of Seven Hills, Lord Venkateshwara.
