We all know Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam is one of the wealthiest and most revered shrines in India. But many interesting mystical facts go beyond the universally recognized trivia. Like the fact that the idol of Lord Balaji wears real hair. These sacred objects for worship are not local. How about this? God of the god's sweat!
Read on for such fun and changing facts about the most famous shrine in India.
Secret of an unknown people
For the ritual worship of the temple deities Tirupati Balaji flowers, clarified butter, milk, buttermilk, holly leaves, etc. come from an unknown village, about twenty-two kilometers from Tirupati. The small town has not been seen or visited by any stranger except her people.
The idol of the divinity is not in the middle.
The image of the gods of Lord Tirupati Balaji seems to be in the midst of the sanctum sanctorum, but technically this is not the case. The symbol is on the right corner of the sanctuary.
Echthaar de Balaji
The hair that Mr. Balaji wears is silky, smooth, confused and authentic. The story behind these perfect castles is as follows: Lord Balaji lost part of his hair in an unexpected disaster during a diet on Earth. A Gandharva princess named Neela Devi quickly took note of this incident and cut off part of her glorious mane. He humbly offered her her broken locks and asked her to plant them on her head. Delighted with his devotion, the god accepted the gracious sacrifice and promised that anyone who visited his sanctuary and sacrificed his hair at his feet would be blessed. Since then, it is customary for devotees to shave in the Temple before or after their wishes are fulfilled.
The waves of the sea behind the idol of Balaji
You may want to listen to believe, but the immutable truth is that the sound of the high waves of the ocean can be understood if one puts the ear in the image of the deity, which is in the sanctuary.
Perpetual lights
The light of the heart of a bright devotee of the Divine will never be erased, just like the lamps of clay that stand placed in front of the idol of the deity in that sanctum sanctorum of that temple of Tirupati Balaji. There is no reliable account of when these lights were turned on and who activated them. We only know that they burned for a long time and will continue to do so.
Venkateswara Swamy appeared in real time.
A long time ago, in the nineteenth century, in India, the king of the region imposed the death penalty on twelve people because they had committed an abominable crime. Their necks hanged all twelve to death. After death, the bodies of the dead criminals hung on the walls of the Balaji temple. At that moment, the god himself appeared.
Misty idol
For an unexplainable reason, the rear of the idol is always damp, though the priests keep it dry.
The flowers offered to Lord van Verpedu.
After the rule book, the priests of the temple do not throw the flowers that Lord Balaji offered during the morning worship of GarbhaGudi or Sanctorum Sanctum. Then they are thrown to the waterfalls that flow behind the back of the idol. The priests, however, refuse to look at the end of the holy deity for the rest of the day. Surprisingly, discarded flowers can move seen in a place known as Yerpedu, which is 20 kilometers from Tirupati.
Idol survives a vigorous chemical reaction.
It is a scientifically well-known fact that when camphor green camphor or camphor (Pachai Karpooram), a derivative of Cinnamomum camphora, is applied to every stone, cracks, and cracks in the object. However, the idol of Shri Tirupati Balaji is resistant to volatile chemical reactions camphorated and has no trace, even if it remains stained with the substance of the time.
Deity of welding
Image Lord Balaji can do carved in stone, but he is full of life and alive, so the reports must believe. The idol of the religious deity maintains a heat of 110 degrees Fahrenheit, though the surrounding area due to the temple's steep site (3000 feet) relaxes. Every morning they appear after the sacred bath, known as Abhishekham, beads of sweat in the image of Balaji that should last scraped from the priests with a soft cloth. On Thursdays, when priests remove idols for a holy bath, they leave with a sense of warmth.
