History of the Temple:


Dwaraka Tirumala Devasthanam is situated on the top of the Seshachala Hill. A beautiful legend of untraceable antiquity current in these parts is that a great sage Dwaraka by name picked up and unearthed the idol of the Lord from an ant hill, tracing from the position of an eagle perching on soap nut tree as per instructions of Lord in Samadhi. Hence, the temple and village were named after the sage Dwaraka. The presiding mythological Deity Lord Sri Venkateswara is visible up to the bust size and the lower portion is imagined to be in the earth. The holy feet are said to be offered to Balichakravarthi in Pathala for his daily worship. The full size idol of Lord Venkateswara standing at the back of the main idol of Lord has been installed by the famous Vyshnavite Srimad Ramanujacharya in 11th century A.D. According to this temple tradition, two Kalyanams are being performed every year during the months of Vysakham and Aswayujam, which may be in the month of April-May and September-October respectively every year.
