Venkateswara Guha

Venkateswara Guha (cave) features a broken idol of Lord Venkateswara. This is said to be the idol made by Sage Agastya to build Venkateswara temple at this place. It is at a distance of 100 meters from Uma Maheshwara Temple. A story says that first lord Venkateswara is placed in this cave instead of Tirupati. But because the idol has broken feet, it could not be worshipped. As per Veera Brahmam Kala Gynanam, whenever people cannot worship God in Tirupati, then this place is going to be alternative instead of Tirupati. Lord Venkateswara is idolized here and therefore the original idol of the supernatural being can even be seen. This place gets crowded in peak season, Saturdays and Shivaratri season. This cave may be reached by rising steep steps from the gopura of Uma Maheshwara Temple. The cave also boasts enormous natural beauty. Surrounding this place is pleasant for the eyes.
