Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala – Sesha Theertham
Sesha Theertham is one of the popular Theertham in Tirumala. 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. Allowed every year only on Vaishaka Suddha Pournami day (Feb-Mar).
Legends
It is believed that once upon a time Lord Vishnu was feeling thirsty and wanted some water to drink so he asked garuda to bring some water for him but garuda failed to bring the water on time, so Lord Vishnu ordered his Adi Sesha to hit a torrent with his tail and fetch some water for him, from that day this place is known as Sesha Theertham.
Prayers
Bathing in this water is really refreshing and is said to wash away the evils and confer good fortune. People come there to pray and get rid of the Sarpa Dosha and various diseases, they to offer some salt, jaggery, pepper in the well and pray for better health from Lord Vishnu.
