Tirumala is a Hindu religious temple town situated in the Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It serves as one of the neighborhoods of the city of Tirupati and falls under the jurisdiction of the Tirupati Urban Development Authority within the Tirupati revenue division.
The town is characterized as a hill station and is primarily known for housing the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, which is a prominent shrine dedicated to the deity Vishnu. Because Vishnu is believed to reside here with his full power, similar to his celestial abode of Vaikuntha, the location is frequently referred to as 'Bhuloka Vaikuntha'. The town maintains a strictly vegetarian environment.
