Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala – Sanaka Sanandana Theertham
Sanaka Sanandana Theertham is one of the popular Theerthams associated with Tirumala Venkateshwara Temple. The best time for visiting this place is during the rainy season, this place looks even more beautiful with greenery around and with white water gushing out of the rocks.
Legends
Sanaka Sanandana Theertham is associated with two sages named Sanaka and Sanandana. It is believed that once these two sages went to Vaikuntha for seeing Lord Vishnu, but were not permitted by the guards called Jaya and Vijaya. These two sages then cursed the guards that they will take birth as demons. After three rebirths, these two guards regained their original form and went back to Vaikuntha.
Prayers
On the day of Margazhi, if anyone takes a bath in the holy water of Theertham then he is highly rewarded and relived from all his sins. Bathing in this water is really refreshing and is said to wash away the evils and confer good fortune.
Connectivity
Pilgrims should trek little deep into Seshachalam forest to reach this place. Local guides are required to reach this place safely.
