Padmavathi Ammavari temple, devoted to goddess Laxmi and wife of lord Shri Venkateshwara is a must do when in Tirupati. The temple is conveniently located on the other side of the highway slightly away from the city, yet well connected with public transport. It is believed that the devotees who wish to visit the Tirumala temple, have to first visit the Ammavari temple and take blessings and permission to visit. The temple is not as crowded as the Tirumala temple (unless there is a special occasion), yet the general darshan or Sarvdarshan takes quite a bit of time. There is also a quicker way of darshan if you opt for Kumkum Archana, but it happens only between 3pm to 4pm and the tickets are also dispensed at the spot and only between 3pm to 4pm (no online booking available). Besides the advantage of quicker darshan, devotees opting for Kumkum archana, get to visit the inner sanctum and get a good view of the deity. The cost of Kumkum archana is 250/- per head.See more..

I went to the Ahobilam with my wife. Our focus was to see the place where Lord appeared and get Darshana of Lord Narasimha. Based on previous reviews from fellow travellers we book guide Naveen (9542273522), who was well conversant with English (as I know Hindi and English only). Naveen is very honest, punctual, very helpful, and knows the place history, people and temple priests quite well. He planned our day such that we get all Narasimha temple darshana with least effort with trekking. It was very hot during day time in January and he took us thru river route which is less strenuous and cool. He even helped my wife in terrain where it is difficult to walk. He also arranged the Jeep for Pavana and Bhargava Narasimha darshana. He also helped with the places for food as we have limited choice being eating only Vaishnava food. Ahobilam is quite beautiful with lush green forest and water streams. We had a good Darshana of Lord Narasimha in all 9 temples and priests performed Lord's aarti in our presence and explain the deities with their history. My pilgrimage to Ahobilam is memorable with good Lord Darshana and good explanation, guidance, and company of Naveen. Highly recommend to fellow traveller to take Naveen guide. It will not only make your trip or pilgrimage memorable memorable and but also cost effective.See more..

4.5Yaganti Temple(141 reviews) - Good option for a day trip from Bengaluru. Location is very pretty Spent More than 3 hours Religious Sites
Nice, quiet place that is not crowded. Is a good drive from Bengaluru (340 km). The temple is simple and nice. The statue of Nandi is impressive. The caves are a good experience. The steps are narrow and steep. Plus, water drips from the roof, making the steps slippery. Adventurous, but not for everyone. Good option for a day trip. On the way, you will see the factory of KIA Motors. You might even consider camping overnight. Carry food and water. Toilets are available. They are not well-maintained, but usable. Words of advise: Driving during the day can be tiring because the route gets hot as early as 8 am.See more..
We visited this temple on January 26th.2021. It being a holiday there was some rush. We could park our car with little difficulty. We planned for vratham and dharshan. So we took Rs 1500 x 2 vratham tickets.Dharshan is Rs.100 extra per head. In the net the website is not updated still. You will find some old phone numbers over there. They are either switched off or out of service. The vratham is conducted quite well. The arrangements are quite good. The dharshan also was done in an orderly fashion. It is worth visiting. Choose to reach the temple by 8.30 am. Then everything will be over in good time.See more..

It was our first visit to this very popular and revered temple in the city of Vishakhpatnam and it was the worth the visit. It was great to see Ammavaru in her true magnificent self!!

We wanted to a get a good glimpse of the great Goddess but that was not to be :(.

We took a direct bus from Nellore. It tooks us 3:30 hrs to reach Penchalakona due to the heavy rush, as we travelled on Narasimha Jayanthi.

Since we did not have enough time, we skipped this part. Now, coming back to Penchalakona temple, it was an awesome experience to have visited the temple on Narasimha Jayanthi as Lord Narasimha is the mein deity at that place.
