Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Țhākura has actually described the chronological order of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu's visit. The Tirupati temple is sometimes called Tirupatura. It is situated on the northern side of Ārkata in the district of Candragiri. It is a famous holy place of pilgrimage. In pursuance of His name, Vyeṅkateśvara, the four-handed Lord Viṣṇu, the Deity of Bālājī, with His potencies named Śrī and Bhū, is located on Vyeṅkata Hill, about eight miles from Tirupati. This Vyeṅkateśvara Deity is in the form of Lord Viṣṇu, and the place where He is situated is known as Vyeṅkata-kṣetra. There are many temples in southern India, but this Bālājī temple is especially opulent. A great fair is held there in the months of September and October. There is a railway station called Tirupati on the southern railway. Nimna-tirupati is located in the valley of the Vyeṅkata Hill. There are several temples there also, among which are Govindarāja and the Deity of Lord Rāmacandra.
