Located in the majestic Tirumala Hills of Andhra Pradesh, Tirupati Balaji Temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the world. Dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara, who is an incarnation of Vishnu, the temple attracts millions of devotees every year. However, beyond the throngs of pilgrims lies multiple veils of mysteries that haven't been solved in all of these years.
Intriguing, right? Let's delve into some of the lesser-known aspects of this very iconic temple. Unexplained Hair MysteryOne of the most intriguing tales of Tirumala Temple is the legend of Lord Venkateshwara's ever-growing hair. The idol's hair, which has been made from real human hair, seems to grow mysteriously.
This phenomenon has no scientific explanation whatsoever. In fact, it adds on to the temple's mystique. A special ceremony called the 'tonsuring' ritual is performed periodically to maintain the hair's length.
The collected hair is then auctioned. Offerings From Secret VillageThe ritual offerings at the temple, including flowers, clarified butter, milk and holy leaves are sourced from a mysterious village - which is located around 22 kilometres from Tirupati. This places is not accessible for public and only a few residents have access to it.
Sea Waves Sound Behind The IdolIt is said that people who put their ear close to the back of Lord Balaji's idol can hear the sound of sea waves. This is one of the biggest mysteries that nobody has been able to crack so far. Misty BackThe back of the idol will always appear damp.
Despite multiple efforts to dry it, there is a mysterious mist that continues to form. This unexplained phenomenon has puzzled many people. Disclaimer: This article is based on popular beliefs.
