Shri Varaha Swamy Temple
Shri Varaha Swamy Temple in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, is dedicated to Lord Varaha, the boar incarnation of Vishnu, who is believed to have rescued the Earth from the demon Hiranyaksha by lifting it out of the cosmic ocean. According to legend, after this act, Varaha stayed on the hill known as Adivarahakshetra, which is part of the Tirumala Hills.
The temple is historically significant and was renovated in the 16th century. It features traditional Dravidian architecture with intricate carvings and sculptures. A unique tradition linked to the temple is that Lord Venkateswara, another form of Vishnu worshipped nearby, offers the first worship and food offerings to Varaha Swamy as a gesture of gratitude for the land given to him. Pilgrims visiting Tirupati consider it essential to have darshan (sight) of Varaha Swamy before visiting Venkateswara, a practice rooted in mythological texts and local custom.
The temple is managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams and remains a serene spiritual sanctuary attracting devotees and tourists alike.
