its better to view chart to pilgrims reffer in website, best and easy way to thalakona like nearest in tirupathi separately and in tirumala separately.

Are there any other temples to visit in Tirupati Balaji?

I have visited twice to Tirupati Balaji or Sri Venkatshwara temple. Divine place with natural positivity flows in you and you will be eager to visit again again to visit this temple and Lord Venkateshwara will arrange everything for you. Really blessed. Jai Govinda, Jai Sri Venkateshwara.

Nice temple to see. I did not get the complete peace of mind at any where but in Tirumala I get happy, satisfaction and peace of mind. That is the power of Lord Venkateswara. I will get new energy after darshan. So many people are visiting daily for darshan. Really we are lucky to have this holy and powerful temple. My suggestion is that TTD should construct a modern kitchen immediately with international standards.

There are dozens of temples in and around Tirupati. From Srinivasam, a lodging house of TTD, every morning a bus is available thatr goes to some 9 temples in 3 to 4 hours. A nominal charge is to be paid. It is a good trip.

TTD has introduced a package tour to take you to the temples around Tirupati. The bus starts from the Central Reception Office, Tirumala at 06:00 hrs every day and returns the same day at 13:20 hrs to Tirupati. You will be taken to these temples Sri Venugopalaswami Temple, Karvetinagaram Sri Vedanarayanaswami Temple, Nagalapuram Sri Kalyana Venkateswaraswami Temple, Narayanavanam Sri Padmavathi Temple, Tiruchanoor The darshan timings are the same as that for Sarvadarsanam.

The bus fare is : Rs 80.00 for adults (which includes special darshan) Rs 40.00 for children Note : Pilgrims who make use of this facility are given annaprasadam.

Great thoughts. Thank you.

We attended Brahmathosam last month, a great divine place. You will get positive energy and confidence.

“If you are a follower of certain faith” – Naming the faith wouldn’t have made you less secular.

God who listen prayer and helps. God who relive from all problems of life. I would like to share which happened with me. Few years back I was having knee pain, I was running behind doctors. We went by foot path from Tirupati to Tiruamal due to desire of my daughter. I could not know when it was relived. But I was fine at Tirumala . Years passed I am fine.

Jai Balaji.

Great Divine place with natural positive flows in you and you will be eager to visit again again to visit this temple and Lord Venkateshwara will arrange everything for you.

Really blessed. Jai Govinda, Jai Sri Venkateshwara.

I need to go to Fatshan of Sri Venkateswara at Tirupati.

About Tirupati

Timurala Venkateswara Temple, or simply known as Tirupati, is the most famous pilgrimage destination of South India , and the most popular one. It is located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh , about 750KM southwest of Vishakhapatnam, and is also home to other historic and ancient temples. Hence, the town is also referred to as the Spiritual Capital of Andhra Pradesh. 

The temple, the highlight of the Tirupati map, is perched on and is surrounded by the Tirumala Hills, which are a part of the Sheshachalam Hills Range. They are also called the Tirupati hills. The hills rise to about 2799ft. above sea level, offering great views of the surrounding landscape of forests and waterfalls.

The hills are distinguished by seven peaks, which are mythological representations of the seven heads of Adisesha . The Tirupati temple sits on the 7 th peak – Venkatadri , adjacent to the Swami Pushkarini Lake. Hence it is also called the Temple of the Seven Hills . The entire town, including the temple, covers an area of 26.75 km2 and has a population of 287,035.

The name Tirupati is derived from its Dravidian origin , which translates to “ sacred abode ”. 

It is believed that Venkateswara, an avatar of Vishn u appeared on what is presently the temple site, to save mankind from the sufferings of the Kali Yuga. Most ruling dynasties like the Pallavas, Cholas, and the Vijayanagar Kings were devotees of this temple. The first official administration of the temple was set up by Maratha general, Raghoji I Bhosle.

Then during the colonial rule, the British East India Company oversaw the management and handed it to the Mahants of Hathiramji Muth . It was only in 1933, under the TTD Act, the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams trust was formed to manage and conduct all activities in Tirupathi and other temples in Tirumala. 

Interesting Facts

One of the most visited pilgrimage sites in India, Tirupati Temple is frequented by nearly 100,000 people daily , who come here for the sole purpose of Tirupati darshan. On special occasions and festival, the number goes up to 500,00 0, making it the most-visited holy place in the world. 

It is also considered to be the richest Hindu temple in the world , with respect to the donations it receives and the wealth accumulated thereof. The reason behind such endowments is associated with a legend in the Puranas.

It is said that Ventakeswara loaned about 11.4 million gold coins from Kuber for his marriage to Padmavathi. With that money, he hired Viswakarma, the divine architect to create the majestic abode. In remembrance, devotees donate money, gold, and other material endowments to the temple, so Venkateshwara can pay back Kuber. It is said that the donations to Tirupati temple go as high as 22.5 million INR per day . 

Another interesting aspect of Tirupati is its fundamental belief in equality and prohibits any sacrificial offerings , unlike many other Hindu temples or as in other sects of Hinduism.

Temple Architecture

The temple structure is a work of architectural wonder. The stone carvings on the facades, interiors and the towers, reflect the finesse and skillfulness of ancient Dravidian architecture and is awe-inspiring. It is constructed in classic Dravidian architectural style and is said to have taken a long period of time to build, starting from 300AM. The temple premise consists of two queue complexes to manage pilgrims, the Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasadam complex for free meals for visitors, hair tonsure buildings, and a number of pilgrim lodging sites.

The Very Best Compression Socks

In this article

• Best overall
• Best for flying
• Best for athletes
• Best for recovery
• Best for pregnancy
• Best multipack

As helpful as they are for soreness and fatigue, compression socks get a bad wrap. They’re usually associated with the unattractive, stuffy garments you are prescribed medically or pick up at a drugstore . Since taking on this story, I’ve found that there are a surprising number of options out there that are actually stylish and as comfy as my normal everyday socks . And, after consulting six experts — including physical therapists, a doctor, a run coach, and a frequent flier — I’ve learned that they’re much more useful than I initially thought.

Because they’re made with heavier elastic around your feet, ankles, and calves, they increase pressure to stimulate blood flow from your feet to your heart. “If you think about it, the distance blood has to travel down to the feet and back is much longer than, say, to the shoulder,” Lara Heimann , a physical therapist and CEO and founder of LYT Yoga , explains. This extra help can be useful for folks with medical conditions (like diabetics and those with varicose veins), anyone sitting on a long-haul flight, pregnant people, athletes, and people on their feet all day. I found them especially helpful after my long runs, and the sources I spoke to can attest to all their other benefits. Below, you’ll see our picks for the very best compression socks, including cushiony pairs and picks in fun patterns.

What we’re looking for

Compression level.

When shopping for compression socks, you’ll probably notice a number between 15 to 30 and “mmHg,” which stands for millimeters of mercury. The higher the mmHg, the more compression. Dr. Karena Wu , board-certified clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy at Activecare Physical Therapy, says light compression (15 to 20 mmHg) is good for daily wear and flights, moderate compression (20 to 30 mmHg) can help with recovery and varicose veins, and a higher level (30 to 40 mmHg) is typically used for medical conditions (like a diagnosed venous insufficiency) and to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVTs).

Most compression socks are made of synthetics like nylon, polyester, and spandex. This makes them more comfortable while still providing compression benefits. Dr. Nelya Lobkova , board-certified surgical podiatrist and founder of Step Up Footcare, says that anyone with diabetes, skin ulcers or wounds on their feet, or venous problems should opt for compression socks made out of natural fibers like cotton or wool instead of synthetic materials to prevent skin irritation, though they may be more expensive than budget-friendly synthetics. Worth noting, too: Compression socks should be washed regularly but only hang dried to preserve the width and compression. Once they’re stretched out, they’re not as effective.

Multiple experts I spoke to say knee-length compression socks are a good starter sock for people without any history of clotting or DVTs. They cover the areas that are most prone to swelling: the ankles and calves. Dr. Michael J. Trepal , a doctor of podiatric medicine at Trepal & Jules, doesn’t recommend ankle-length compression socks because more fluid will be retained in the calf. “The ankle will look like an hourglass by the end of the day,” he says. On the flip side, socks or stockings that go above the thigh are meant for people with venous blockage in the thigh, which is determined by seeing a specialist and having a lower-extremity diagnostic ultrasound test, Dr. Lobkova says.

Best compression socks overall

Compression level: 18-25 mmHg | Fabric: 76% Viscose from bamboo, 16% Polyester, 6% Spandex, 2% Nylon | Length: Calf

Vim & Vigr compression socks have been on our radar for almost six years now after Strategist contributor Alison Freer wrote about them . Freer found comfort in them after standing on her feet all day, and her mother used them post–knee surgery. Unlike the ones you’d find at a drugstore or prescribed by a doctor, these are available in a very wide variety of actually stylish patterns and colorways. The options don’t stop at the fun styles either. They offer wide calf socks , open-toe socks , sleeves , and tights in three compression levels (15 to 20 mmHg, 20 to 30 mmHg, and 30 to 40 mmHg). On top of that, they have fabric choices from nylon and cotton to merino wool. Because the Strategist-vetted Montana brand offers such an extensive, stylish range — including socks with light compression for everyday wear and medical-grade compression levels — I’ve named it our best-in-class pick.

Best compression socks for flying

Heimann uses compression socks herself any time she flies for five hours or longer. She’s used her Wellow socks on flights to Europe and Africa from New Jersey and says there’s a big difference. “I get off the plane wanting to move,” she says. “I don’t feel so stagnant and uncomfortable from my ankles and calves feeling swollen.” She’s had these light compression socks for a couple of years because she doesn’t wear them regularly, only pulling them out for flights. Wellow also offers a nice variety of colors and patterns, but not nearly as many as Vim & Vigr. They come in one type of breathable fabric, mainly made out of viscose from bamboo and a blend of polyester, spandex, and nylon.

Best less-expensive compression socks for flying

Compression level: 10-30 mmHg | Fabric: Cotton | Length: Calf

If style isn’t as much of a priority for you and you want something a hair cheaper, these Wanderlust compression socks are under $20. Strategist contributor Alice Gregory describes them as “little corsets for your feet” that keep her legs from feeling heavy and feet from feeling swollen after a long flight. While you won’t get the color and pattern options as the two options above (these only come in black, white, and gray), you can still get all of the health benefits.

Best compression socks for athletes

Compression level: 10-30 mmHg | Fabric: 58% Polyamide 21% multifilament Polyamide 16% Elastane 5% bioceramic | Length: Calf

Compression socks can also be used during workouts, but Team RunRun coach Alex Giraudineau explains that their purpose is a bit different than when you’re immobile (like flying or even standing on your feet all day). When you’re exercising — especially running — you experience more muscular vibrations (caused by impacts with the ground) than normal, which can cause soreness, cramps, and damage to your muscles. “With the compression socks, your muscles are more stable, reducing the damage during your run and reducing the soreness the day after,” Giraudineau explains. He also recommends lighter compression for workouts (no more than 25 mmHg, he says), because your blood is already flowing (unlike when you’re stationary and need help from compression socks to stimulate blood flow). His favorites out of the six brands he’s tried are from Compressport because they’re comfortable and breathable. He’s noticed he doesn’t have any pain in his achilles tendon after long runs, which he attributes to added stability from the compression socks. Candice Criscione, founder of MomInItaly.com and TheTuscanMom.com , also wears these herself. She bought them years ago for cycling and now wears them for long flights and when she knows she’ll be walking more than usual.

Best compression socks for recovery

Compression level: 20-30 mmHg | Fabric: 71% Polyester 14% Supima Cotton 10% Elastane 5% Nylon | Length: Calf

I’ve been testing these out and have noticed a big difference in my calves if I wear them after long runs. Before, it would take at the very least two days for me to be able to get my feet pounding on the pavement again because my shin splints were so painful. I’ve found that if I wear the Bombas compression socks the night after a long run for at least three or four hours, my shins and calves are less sore the next day. Giraudineau explained to me that after high-intensity and long workouts, there’s a buildup of lactic acid in the muscles that causes soreness. Compression socks (for recovery, he recommends a medium compression of 20 to 30 mmHg), stimulate blood flow and oxygen to release that buildup. I like these specifically because they’re extra cushiony, like all Bombas offerings, and feel like I’m treating my legs. They’re a little difficult to shimmy on, but I feel the minimal struggle is worth it in the end.

Best compression socks for pregnancy

Compression level: 15 to 20 mmHg | Fabric: 52% Merino Wool 21% Nylon 17% Polyester 10% Elastane | Length: Calf

People who are pregnant can benefit from compression socks as well. “There’s often cramping in calves and swelling in the feet and ankles,” Heimann says. “It’s very common, especially in the last trimester, where there’s just so much more fluid overall in the body.” Heimann herself used compression socks in her last month of pregnancy while she was still working on her feet in a PT clinic, and they helped with comfort and swelling. Senior writer Liza Corsillo turned to these Bombas ones because the merino-wool-blend is stretchy, warm yet breathable, and soft. She says the compression helped reduce swelling and improve circulation after her son was born.

Best multipack of compression socks

Compression level: 15 to 20 mmHg | Fabric: 85% Nylon, 15% Polyester | Length: Calf

If you work a job that requires you to be on your feet all day, you may want to wear compression more frequently. Because it’s recommended to wash and hang-dry them, a multi-pack might be your best bet. After searching our archive, I surfaced this six pack that Real Housewife of Salt Lake City cast member Lisa Barlow told us she can’t live without . Her massage therapist tipped her off on them to reduce swelling, and she now swears by them. I like that they’re affordable at just $20 for six pairs, which breaks down to just a little over $3 per pair. They also come in a decent range of colors and patterns, in case you get tired of the standard black and white socks.
