Srinivasa Kalyanam
Let’s start with the location of the story and the current temple – the 7 Hills of Tirumala-Thirupati.
The 7 Hills of Tirupati or Saptagiri are Venkatadri, Narayanadri, Vrushabhadri, Anjanadri, Garudadri, Neeladri and Seshadri.
The main temple of Tirupati is situated on Venkatadri, the most important of the 7 hills.
