Tirupati (Telugu: తిరుపతి) is a pilgrimage city located in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. It is located at the foothills of Tirumala. The city owes its existence to the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple situated on the Tirumala Hills. Tirumala is the abode of Lord Venkateshwara, one of the Avatars of Lord Vishnu, located atop Seshachala hills often called as Yedu Kondalu (seven hills).
The temple of Lord Venkateshwara was built by Telugu Kings. The temple is the richest and the most visited place of worship in the world.
Tirupati was recognised as a major municipal Corporation (MCT) in 2002. Although the district headquarters is 60 km from the city, major government establishments and operations take place in Tirupati. The Tirupati Urban Development Authority further expanded its horizon to about 1380 km² with a total population of about 10 lakhs. Tirupati is one of the fastest growing cities in India with IT, BPO and Health industries coming up. It is a major boom for real estate. Tirupati is also emerging into a major educational, entertainment, tourism and a commercial city. Near the bus stand, stands a statue of the great singer Bharatharatna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
