You see the Presidential Palace, the Changing of the Guard and plenty of vendors in this large plaza.

this is a wonderful city square, Beautiful buildings (a tour of the President's Palace is well worth it), fun restaurants, and a very lively scene....several bands, with everyone dancing! (We were there on a Sunday.)

This still is a most significant place! Around this plaza you will find the Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Municipal Palace and the Archbishop's Palace (now hosting a food court and cultural area). At the center of the plaza is the Monument of the Independence. Inside the Archbishop's Palace there is a reasonable restaurant for local food called Querubin. You can have lunch for $4 (soup + main course + desert + fresh fruit juice).

A great place to sit and have lunch - delicious food and friendly service

What do I love about Quito? The people fill the public squares and parks at all times. The plaza is bustling with people; a wonderful place to people watch and enjoy the sun!

Amazing sites, good restaurants and shops, feeling of being immersed in the city and it's culture.

During an old town city tour you have the opportunity to visit the Grand Plaza.At this point the guide can provide a through history of the polictical backround of Quito as well as Ecuador

This square is located in the heart of the Old City. Stately, old buildings an nearby churches give a glimpse into the colonial past. There is a three-floor mall to the north of the square with several restaurants and gift shops. Be careful at night, though.

There are many edifices to photograph and a lovely Central Plaza experience with throngs of Ecuadorians of varying cultural backgrounds.

The plaza is lovely but right on the square is a great restaurant with deliscious food attached to a fair trade shop/gallery. Spend some time and $$ here.

The statute commemorates Ecuador, a condor, breaking the the chain of rule by Spain, a lion. Extremely moving.

This was across the street from La Real Audiencia. Great market and gathering place at night. Wonderful church.

Check out the Monday Changing of the Guard at 11am.

A very populated street. To the point were street vendors are trying to sell you shoe laces when your trying to take a look at the presidential palace.

it is a alternative temple to the Thirumala tirupati temple. most of the surounding area people visit this place regularly

Temple is good and too close to bangalore. Road are well maintained. With lot of empty space around. People comes here from far places with some offering to lord venkateshwara. But before entering the temple people outside who does the hair removing, hot water for bath, pooja item, finally prasadam will totally loot you. Until you cross the gate even the beggars will not receive 2-5 rs. Since i had been there to offer my child hairs. its clearly mention in board pay 10rs, still i offered the person who does shaving Rs100, his face was not satisfied and asked for more saying dhaksna. I finally paid 200 rs. The previous person literally had a fight when he went forward to pay 60rs, finally the barber returned him saying keep it from my side as if he is insulting him. Its personal experience differs with people .

Good place, good architecture. Construction of a Gopuram ongoing. Small shops adorn the temple complex. Parking space available.

Been here on an extending weekend. Took 40 mins to drive from Sarjapur Road Signal to this place. Used google maps to navigate to this place. If you are coming from Sarjapur Road, Whitefield or Marathalli the temple should be on your left. The temple has a prominent arch which you will not miss. The vehicles are parked outside the arch and the walking distance from the arch to the Sanctum will be around 200 mts. There are lots of small stores selling garlands, flowers and offerings for the deity along the walkway to the temple. This place maybe seeing huge crowd at times, since there were enough barriers and guides placed to manage a large queue. Fortunately we may be lucky and the place barely had people and we just walked inside. Inside the temple there is a huge bell which kids like to sound, except for it, the place is quite peaceful and you feel bliss being away from the maddening traffic of Bengaluru. There are monkeys within the temple and some pretty huge and aggressive ones, so be cautious when with the younger kids.During our visit ISKON was conducting a ceremony of lighting ghee lamp for Krishna due to the holy month of Karthik. Was good to be part of it.

Well organized, one can plan a half day trip.The approach roads are not that great but need to be bit careful.Beware of the monkeys there.

This is the temple with the deity Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy along with his wifes SriDevi and Bhudevi on both sides. Beautiful deity. Priests decorate the deities daily with flower garlands nicely.It is 30 kms from Gopalan Signature mall on old Madras Road. The route takes you through villages beyond white field. Nice drive. You can also reach this place from Sajjapur side as well. It is 12 kms from Sajjapur.Lot of visiting monkeys is a treat to the eyes of kids and elders as well. Some Devotees get the head tonsured, supposed to be as a mark of shedding away ego. The speciality of the deity is that the Abhayahastham is pointed up words as against down words in Thirumala. The visitor devotee gets attracted to the beauty of the deity which was said to be installed by Agni the fire GOD....A nice temple..

its a bit far but if you are going to whitefields for some work , its worth visiting. very calm and serene place

my mother &father happy when we visit the Chikka Thirupathi Temple no crowd .We all relief when visit temple.Because very crowd in thirupathi.Our visiting time is good, no summer no rain season that time winter also not came fully.

All temples are very shrine but this one is unique in it's own way. A very peace sign agreement temple and easily accessible.

This temple is located on the outskirts of Bangalore in Malur taluk. It is a replica of Venkateshwara Swamy temple, Tirupati, thus the name - Chikka Tirupati. But, not as crowded, can have darshan in half-an-hour mostly. The darshan is equally satiating, divine and beautiful. Drive to temple from Bangalore is quite scenic with trees on both sides making it an enjoyable drive with decent roads. Parking available.

Temple is small but its good. The roads are not in good condition but you will enjoy traveling as its hardly 21 km drive

This beautiful temple is located in Chikka Tirupathi hobli of Malur Taluk, in the outskirts of Bengaluru in Karnataka. It is constructed according to the Dravidian style of architecture, Lord Vishnu is worshipped as Venkateshwara and his consort Lakshmi as Alamelumanga. Prasadam is served to every one who visits the temple free of cost.

Went there on a Friday. Reached in an hour. Wasnt crowded. We did darshan in say half an hour max. Nicely managed and clean temple.

Nice place, small temple takes around 30 mins for darshana. Nice idol. Good parking place. One of the oldest temple in Bangalore. Lot of monkeys for the enjoyment of kids.

Been here a week ago with family and relatives. Had a wonderful Darshana and the place is still under maintenance. Must visit temple for the spiritual souls out there.

Its around 1 hour drive and on Sarjapur road. One the few places where my husband n I spent our one of the weekend evening.Good parking space,small food stalls to curb your tummy.

Pandit Uday Jha Provide a simple high quality, sacred, hassle free puja serve. Poojaree ji is very famous about his simple style pooja in Bangalore, pandit ji very popular in Bihari and Bangli comunity of Marathalli, BTM Layout and Kormanagala in Bangalore. purahit ji proform all kind of pujas like Ganapathy Homam, Chandi Homam, Graha Dosh Nivaran Puja,Durga Puja, Vinayaka Puja,Satyanarayan Pooja, Mundan, North Indian wedding and Marriage etc.,

The temple is old and peaceful . The temple is dedicated to Shree Vishnu . Shri Vishnu is worshipped in his 9th avatar as Shri lord Venkateshwara Swamy and consort Lakshmi as Alamelumangai . The speciality of this temple is : Tirupati lord Shri venkateshwara right hand is downwards and Chikka Tirupati statue is upwards . Visit this temple to get blessings from Lord venkateshwara .Those who couldn’t visit Tirupati they can visit Chikka Tirupati . It’s said those who visit Tirupati first followed by Chikka Tirupati temple they receive good blessings from lord Balaji . Since this temple is always rushed with too many people on weekends . I visited this temple early morning as 6.30 AM on weekdays . The temple was empty and no people around . It was awesome to sit right in front of Lord venkateshwara and view the lord statue completely. On weekdays people are not allowed into main sanctum due high volume of devotees . Plan accordingly on weekdays .Ample parking space outside of the temple area . Suggested time to visit is only during weekdays . Weekends it will too much rush and queues are long . Free meals are available Restaurants are less in number Local transportation is minimum . Private vehicles is suggested .Suggested roads to take , there are 3 roads which lead to temple a) Sarjapur Road b) Electronic phase 1 diversion c) Atibele Road . I would consider to take Atibele road as it’s very convenient and safety.

Temple is old and peaceful. But maintenance is not upto mark. It is completely open parking. Beware of monkeys.But the route till temple from Bengaluru is scenic and completely a different place nearby the city.

My parents wanted to be in Tirumala on their wedding anniversary. However we couldn't go there for various reasons. That's when I got to know about Chikka Tirupati. As the name suggests the Venkatesa Perumal Moorthi is divine. The moolavar is a miniature of the Tirumala Venkatesa Perumal. It's a very good temple and they offer annadhanam in the afternoon. I would highly recommend this place and worth a visit.

great place to visit.... nice and calming ... great experience.... must visit... not anything close to actual tirupathi but still a place to visit in bangalore

We took the atibele road to Chikkatirupathi which was fairly decent. not many potholes and since it was a long weekend not much traffic. Reached in 1 hr from electronic city to chikkatirupathi. For tonsuring of hair you need to buy a token near the temple entrance which is 10Rs. The barber however charged 500rs per baby which is atrocious.The priest in the temple was more interested in collecting money than giving flowers or showing aarathi. More collection oriented they were. So i felt its a waste buying flowers or tulsi or coconut or agarbathies. Didnt feel that satisfaction of visiting a temple.

Venkataramana temple located around 30 km from Agara Bangalore. Good temple to visit, looks similar to Timtupati temple.Painted with golden colour.

Very nice and small temple. About 30 KM from the Bangalore city but the approach roads are quite bad and very heavy traffic. It took almost 1 hour 30 minutes to cover 30 km. But it is worth the trouble. Very nice small temple.

This place is close to Bangalore and the temple is as famous as tirupati balaji . We went via whitefield on a sunday and could make it to the place in 1 1/2 hours .A part of the journey was bumpy as the roads were bad in some places and last 10-12 kms to the temple the roads were very good . The temple is clean and you get lunch (aksharadasoha ) between 10 am and 1 pm . Plenty of parking space around the temple .

I used the local vendors for overnight Tirupathi visit. This traveler carried us at night 10PM from Bengalaru and around 3 am took us to an lodge where we took bath and breakfast and then proceed to Tirupati. We reached the Queue at around 6am and could take darshan by 11.30am. I liked the way it was organized.

If you have more than couple of hours to spare in the morning or evening with a car, you can venture to visit this place, and have anice darshan of Lord Balaji, locally called Chikka Tirupati.

50 km from Bangaluru. Lord Venkateswara with Sridevi and boo Devi Goddess. Good car parking. Wheel chair facility available. No restaurant. One and half an hour drive from Bangaluru. Crowd puller. Week end you can go. Up and down you need 6 hrs time. All puja items available. Nice one.

Nice small temple of lord venkatwshwara.We started at 2 pm from our home Banswadi, took bangalore tirupati highway before hoskote turn took turn towards Whitefield, to avoid bad city roads and traffic from home farm junction took left turn somehow Google map misguided us and we got into worst village road, road was worst with biggest potholes some how we reached temple, temple is good not at all crowded. It small temple not maintained though but it is peaceful. While coming back we took national highway and that was very nice drive other than patch near to hope farm junction.

This is the again Lord krishna temple which is replica of Triupati balaji. This temple is not as much big as Main Triupati balaji temple. There is vegetable market nearby the temple as well. We visited on saturday.

The temple is true replica of Lord Tirupati -Bala ji. It attracts large number of devotees who are unable to visit Tirupati.

A nice place to go and enjoy. I enjoyed the road to the place as it was beautiful. Lesser number of flex boards make the place better than many other. Nice people. Alert: Mosquitoes may attack you left and rite. Be prepared. Couldn'd find any nice place to eat or drink other than the Nandini brand shop near the Temple.

Visited the temple during Shravan month Saturday. I was expecting lot of crowd in the temple. Luckily the crowd was thin. There were two queues, one free darshan and ₹100 darshan . Took free route and completed the darshan by 1 hr. the temple can be kept cleaner.

Decided to visit this temple unplanned and found the decision to be really wonderful. Road leading to this temple from Whitefield is filled with lush green trees on both sides and it is a national highway with quality roads. There are no dividers and hence don't expect very high speeds, but decent one. Temple itself is quite calm and beautiful. They have ongoing construction to make it bigger it seems.

We visited the temple in the evening. It took about an hour from Whitefield to reach there through the National Highway. Eventhough the road is designated as National Highway most of the parts looks like a village road. There was medium traffic. The temple follows Tamil tradition of poojas as its near the Tamil Nadu border area. Its said that people who are enroute to Thirupathi visits Chikka Thirupathi. The temple looks a old from one angle and has renovations. There was not much rush. The sanctum sanctorum is good and was blessed to see Lord Venkateshwara.

Begin the journey early from Bangalore ,take kankapura root ,after 45 Kms u can see an arch on the right .Visit the place and take prasadam.weekend getaway.

We went to this temple on Apr 25 2017. As we stay in sarjapur road,it was a fun drivve to reach the place . It took oddly 30-45 mins to reach there. temple was less crowded and had an wonderful darshan. Best place to drive and come in few hours with divine experience.

This place non-commercial place , here you cannot do much shoppings other then small toys kind of items. but its very peaceful temple and can visit here as week-end trip from bangalore.

My kid and mom had a great visit to this temple. very near to one of our project. Slightly outskirts of the city, but a serene place to visit a temple.

Very good road, peaceful temple, good darshan. But in summers its very hot. Good place to plan for family picnic.

A sweet small temple of Lord Balaji at the outskirts of Bangalore. The access road can be improved in areas. Simple temple.

This temple is very old balaji temple.Deity is Venkateshwara swamy, Saturday' special pooja will be performed.

A short distance from Sarjapur police station, it is a landmark temple. The deity is magnificent. The temple upkeep is good. Plenty of parking and a good option for half day trip in the evenings.

Well maintained temple with serene atmosphere. You get a true spiritual experience at the shrine. Welcome relief to travel outside of the Bangalore city in open roads. QUite a lot of greenary around.

A good weekend getaway for a Family, in case if you are weekend is not planned and don't want to venture out for a stay somewhere. The temple is a good silent abode to visit and take blessings of Lord Balaji. 1) It is situated around 43-45km from Bangalore city.2) Approach road is good and not that bad. Can enjoy a smooth drive with your family.3) Temple serves Prasad Oota/Prasad Bhojan. Starts around 12 noon.4) Well maintained placeOnce you are done with this visit, you can think of visiting Kotiligeshwara.It will take around 2hrs to 2hrs 30min to reach Kotiligeshwara from Chikka Tirupati.Just follow Google Maps. 1) Around 5-6km, road is not good and its a single road. Rest of the journey will be smooth.2) After covering Kotilingeshwara, one can return back to Bangalore via Bethamangala and Bangalore-Tirupati highway.

Its a weekend drive to Chikka Tirupathi it is a small clean well maintained Temple. If you are looking for a day trip/picnic from Bangalore and takes about 1.5 hours from Bangalore. We drove thru ITPL.. Roads are good ... On the way back we visited Kotilingalu near KGF... then back to bangalore in the late evening.Its crowded on weekends/festive seasons.

Its just around 30km from bangalore, People can go from whitefield road and also from sirjapura road, worth seeing place. Its good for person who wishes to see the temple, hightech modern people, please dont go, you people will not enjoy that place

The ambience does remind one of Tirumala Tirupati. Right on the way from Kolar to Bengaluru, so can be included in the trip to Kolar.

This place is fairly on the outskirts of Bangalore city and difficult to access by public transport. Crowded on saturday and is popular among locals.

Looks good Balaji Temple we feel like this as mini tirupathi but cleaning can be improve and peacfull

A pleasent short drive from Bangalore. The temple is very old and historic. The place is famous for small functions and marraiges. A very satisfied feeling on having the darshan of lord venkateshwara

We went there for Mundan of our son. It took us around 1 hour to reach there from Silk Board. Mundan happens in a separate hall near the temple, we took a token just outside the hall and everything was done very fast within 20 minutes.

As other reviewers have mentioned, its pretty easy to reach this beautiful temple for getting the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara. I started around 7AM from sill board and was in temple by 8.30 AM. After performing archana and pujas, we waiting for the temple lunch which is considered auspicious. Food was delicious and prepared in the traditional style. We were also lucky to experience the palaki yatra and padmavathi devi. would recommend a weekend visit for a peace of mind from day to day hectic life.

Chikka tirupathi temple is about 50 kms from bangalore.There are 3 ways to reach the temple.1. Whitefield - Hopefarm - Temple (45 KMS)2. Koramangala - Sarjapura - Temple (48 KMS)3. Nice Road - Attibele - Sarjapura - Temple (70 KMS)I had chosen the 3rd option.Even thoough the distance is more,since half the distance will be covered by Nice Road,the time taken was less than other routes.The road is very well maintained,except for 2 bad patches in between.The temple will be open from 6am in the morning to 7:30 pm in the evening.Darshanam wont take more than 15 mins even on a weekend.Food is also provided for people visiting temple.Timings : 12PM-2PMThere is lot of space for parking near the temple.There are not many good hotels.Only one small hotel was available and the place was maintained well.Good place for a one day trip with family.

Went recently on a weekend drive to Chikka Tirupathi it is a small clean well maintained Temple. Please do not expect anything remotely close to the size of Tirupati temple.This is a good half a day picnic trip from Bangalore and takes about 1.5 hours from Hebbal Junction. We took the KR Puram Whitefield hope junction route to Chikka Tirupathi and the roads were pretty good hand well maintained.All in all well maintained less crowded temple and Vel worker visit for folk staying in Bangalore.

We were not sure how good is this place for Mundan but to our surprise this place was very good. Not too crowded and could finish off the small ceremony in half an hour.

A scenic drive from bangalore. Perfect for a weekend afternoon. A weekly market is there, Saturday only. Everything household item you could find in the market, and on minimum rate. Worth for weekly spent on food and grossry.For a peaceful return journey from bangalore, take ORR and kadubrusanhalli diversion towards belandur railway line. After crossing the rail line, turn right and follow the road. On this way, traffic never suck you.

If your really missing tirupathi darshan at Tirupathi, no worry please do visit this temple, Well maintained in temple inside area and very clean. Best time to visit in the early morning for peace. its just 25kms approx. from Whitefield.

Located around 45Kms from Bangalore city ,You pass thro' Villages after Whitefield.It is avery old temple ,people say it is >500yrs old.The temple is clean with lot of devotees.Darshan was for a short period as the day I visited was a festival and saturday.Free Annadanam by temple is a highlight .Saturdays are Shandy day ( village Market ) where the near by villagers sell vegetables and fruits ,some of them grown in and around the place.You do get fresh vegetables at moderate rates compared to Bangalore.

Best place to visit...for inner peace...wiat lots of hour to see god for just 2 sec...but that 2 seconds far enough...to forgot about those waiting hours.....

Beautiful temple, easily accessible from Whitefield, 30 minutes drive.The main deity is a finely carved Sri Venkateswara (Balaji) and is believed to be around 500 years old. The temple ambience is wonderful. Very peaceful.

As the name suggests, this is mini Tirupathi. This is a common name for some of the designated temples of Lord Venkateshwara or Balaji which can be visited in lieu of visiting Tirupathi.This has a history of about 800 years, of you need a mythical history ask for the sthala mahime ( ಸ್ಥಳ ಪುರಾಣ / ಮಹಿಮೆ)This is on the Vaishnava belt between Kolar and Hosur. All the villages in this belt have temples dedicated Lord Venkateshwara. The belief is that if people vowed to visit Tirupathi and are unable to fulfill the vow , they can visit Chikka Tirupathi to fulfill the vow.If you are visiting, then don't miss the Kalkunte Ranganathaswamy temple- the home ground of the Kalkunte Iyengars .Then there is the Byate Venkateshwara temple at Muglur.There are multiple ways of reaching CT. Travel on the Bangalore outer ring road to Sarjapur then on to CT. Alternately Whitefield Hopefarm CT via Channasandra.There's one more via Varthur. The best one would be Whitefield Hopefarm Channasandra road.The temple brings the sense of religious contentment and immense satisfaction. Last and not the least- Beware of a few monkeys... They don't harm, however are after the prasada.

What to say when you are in a devine place. The experience is great, and peaceful. Drive to the place is also quite amazing.

went with two friends and it was my first drive in night while returning back! drive was nice without much traffic. We enjoyed!

This is amost 1.30 hour journey from silk board. Old temple. Feels great to visit sri hari. Temple open in morning and evening

had been to chikka tirupati for the mundan. we need to take 10 rs ticket for mundan. the mundan area is average by cleanliness and maintenance. it hardly takes 5 mins for barber to shave the head. he was well expirienced and very careful in his job. he did not demand anything before shave and was contented with 250-350 rs he got has dakshina from all our relatives. bathing hot water is available, but the area is not so clean, but managable, he takes 20 rs for hot water bucket. darshan is quick, it is lord venkateshwara, but no where similer to god idol at main tirupati. it is small in size. i dont feel anywhere it comes closer to main tirupati in feel, though bhakti is subjective. no laddus or special prasad from temple, normal stores outside temple. quick tips for mundan :a) it is small process, just takes 3-4 mins, kid starts crying, hence first make ready things you shall need beforehand and then start shaving, else you shall miss all the process in arranging things than seeing mundan. b). you shall need some toy to distract the kids attentionn from crying, some cream/oil/chandan after mundan. dress to change, towel, bottle of milk if baby is on formula, c). have a spare dress for your self, as yu shall also go wet.

We regularly cycle to Chikka Tirupati temple from Bangalore as the route is very delightful for cycling practice. The temple per se I have found an ordinary one. Nothing special in it architecture wise or for history buffs

We made a early morning trip. If you are a Venkateswara devottee do visit.There is little else with respect to architectural beauty or that pleases a history buff. Crowded on weekends and occasions.Would not advise from road trip perspective either, roads are bad.

I recommend a rural getaway to this nice little common man's Tirupati temple located somewhere south-east of Bengaluru. Roads (from Whitefield side) aren't in great shape, and a bit warm atmosphere, but not bad either. Watch out for the farmers selling juicy produces off the countryside.

It's 20 km ahead of Hopfarm near Whitefield. it's clean and nicely maintained 400 years old temple. I went for my son's Mundan. Bangaloreans are lucky to have such temple. but they don't have any pond or running water body to safely through removed hair if you are looking for it. so if you ask can collect hair else they will simply through in garbage. They charge for Rs. 10 ticket for Mundan though the hair remover will directly ask for more than 200-300 openly and bit rude also. Their they provide warm water bucket for Rs.20. can take bath in open cemented area. Darshan were good. we completed the whole Mundan process and bathing plus darshan in an hour. it was very comfortable.

I discovered this temple on my friend's suggestion and drive just for sake of long drive. Now my whole family like this temple and my wife believes his wishes always comes true.Small temple as name suggests and Poojaris are good and they do the Archana with full faith and belief which one cannot have experience in Main Tirupathi temple. You can stand in front of God and sing your prayer freely without any body pushing you to go out of temple.Very nice God Statue and Tulsi is the main thing which we offer to God there along with flowers.In my opinion people who believe in God should visit there and one cal also buy vegetables and other stuff form Village market near by Temple.Ample space for Car parking.

An amazing idol of balaji to see. What a sight and the best part is the prasadam that you get. A must visit place.

This is one of the best temples I have visited in and around Bangalore.It is far from Bangalore city. Buses commute from channasandra to this place. It is situated in a very cool and calm place. On weekdays, there is absolutely no crowd and people can go for easy darshanam.Had a good darshan Built alongside a natural rock . Looks like very ancient temple. Clean and well maintained with good hygiene.

Hello everyone .... We had recently been to chikka tirupati with our family wanted to share few insights about our trip if you have one day and want to travel to a pilgrimage trip with ur family members then This is the best way to go here is how you should start early in the morning around 8 or 9 you can start on Sunday ,i know i am telling early in the morning because for the techies out there 8 or 9 is early morning on a Sunday :))it takes about one hour of travelling from Bangalore you need to take white field road then you get hoarding saying chikka tirupati ,,pls have your food on the way because no good restaurants in chikka tirupati by the way temple is open from 7.30 in the morning till 6 in the evening on Sundays

the temple is located 35-40 kms from Bangalore city on whitefield -hope farm junction road. This is a very old hisotric temple of Lord Venkateswara(Balaji).The temple is well maintained.& can have darshan peacefully.

The temple is certainly well-maintained. One of the main reasons why I love to visit this temple is the drive. Once you get past the Hope Farm junction, the drive is one where you roll down the windows and let the breeze + greenery take over.

Had a good darshan and visit to this temple on our way to mulbagal. Built alongside a natural rock . Have to climb steps to reach the temple. Looks like very ancient temple.

If u cant go tirupati balaji.... thn this is the right place for u.. so near from bangalore. .. neat n clean ... best place for mundan... everyone is so cooperative.. within 30 mins mundan n darshan can be done... we have to buy ticket of rs.10 for mundan... n by ur wish u have to give some dakshina to that man. Lady there she ll give hot water of rs.20 for bath. She ll help u.Everything is so easy n convenient. .. m so happy n satisfied

A half day outing option for those in and around Bangalore . have been very regular to this place . Temple is well maintained and is under govt control.You can expect less devotees except on special days for Lord Vishnu.I recommend Saturday for the visit and complete darshan by 7-8 am , once you come out you can enjoy a nice village market selling veggies , fruits , spices , goats , sheep's etc it's really good to spend some time for those who miss their villages ...Enquire for special events with the temple staff and try visiting to see the actual grandness if this temple .There is no special prasadam counter in the temple. Temple is famous for vehicle poojas.There are some small hotels in the village to offer tiffens, car parking can be done within temple premisses free of cost .The main temple resembles actual tirupati and is said to be more than 1000 years old. Check in wiki for the complete history of temple .Take sarjapur road to chikka tirupati as the traffic will be less and road is good , also if you are too devotional you can visit mullur balaji temple also .

Chikka Tirupati is translated literally as Small Tirupati. This temple situated in a small village about 40 kms from Whitefield, Bengaluru has a wonderful image of Lord Balaji. The Lord here is more or less the same size as that of the Balaji at Tirumala. Interesting part of this lord Venkateshwara idol is, its a abhayahastha ( hand showing upperwards as blessing). where as in Thirupathi at Andhra Pradesh, Lord's hand is showing downwards. Hence this is considered to be special.

Visited this temple for the first time on our way to a friend's village.It is indeed a very good temple dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara.Chikka Tirupati attracts a lot of crowd and and can be visited from Bengaluru via Sarjapur. Make sure you carry food as we did't see a good restaurant around.

Needs to be managed properly and maintained more effectively.It is quite a small temple (area wise) and shouldn't be a major task for the authorities to maintain cleanliness and crowd.

I am planning to visit this temple for baby Mundan... just need some info..Is there camera man available for photo suit or video suiting?What should be the reaching time there if going on Saturday or Sunday?Thanks.

The temple is open from morning 6:00 AM to 7:30 PM everyday. A board has been put up inside the temple premises mentioning the same. Some sites confuse stating that it is open till 12;00 noon and so on...

From whitefiled one can reach this temple in approximately 40 mins. Road is in good condition with greenery on both sides of road. Along the road you can also notice, farmers will be selling vegetables. When it come to temple, it is very well maintained with queue system and takes around 15 - 25 mins of time for venkateshwara darshan on saturdays. One thing i liked the most is, temple decoration with flowers/garlands. Its a small and well maintained temple. When i enquired about the temple timings, shop vendors conveyed that temple will be open from morning 8 to evening with out break. Today i had darshan @12:45 PM.At last on saturday's one can notice small vegetables/fruit vendors to the back side of temple. You can notice fresh vegetables and fruits from near by farms. In summary i will recommend any one to visit this temple on saturday !!

Sri Prasanna Venkateshwar Temple is in Chick Tirupati Village, of Kolar district. About 20 km from Whitefield or Varthur Bangalore.It is said to be established by Agni, on burning and eating khandav- vana.Main idol is made from black shila/rock.The right hand of the Lord is held in a upward mudra called ahaya-hasta.All rituals are like at Tirupati.Calm and quite a place.
