One of the most famous pilgrimage places in the world is tirupati balaji Temple, which is situated in Andhra Pradesh's magnificent tirumala Hills. The temple, which is devoted to Lord Venkateshwara, an incarnation of Vishnu, welcomes millions of worshippers annually. But behind the pilgrims' crowds are several layers of riddles that haven't been resolved in all these years. Interesting, isn't it? Now let's explore some of this temple's lesser-known features.
 
Unexplained Hair Mystery
The story of Lord Venkateshwara's ever-growing hair is among the most fascinating legends associated with tirumala Temple.  Made from real human hair, the idol's hair appears to grow inexplicably.  There is absolutely no scientific explanation for this phenomenon.  The mysticism of the shrine is actually enhanced by it.  The 'tonsuring' ritual is a particular ceremony that is done regularly to keep the hair long.  After that, the gathered hair is put up for auction.
 
Offerings from the secret village
A secret town around 22 kilometers from tirupati provides the flowers, milk, clarified butter, and holy leaves used in the temple's ritual gifts. Only a small number of residents have access to this location, which is closed to the general public.
 
Behind the idol, the sound of the sea waves
 It is reported that the sound of sea waves can be heard by those who place their ears toward the back of Lord Balaji's idol.  One of the greatest riddles that no one has yet solved is this one.

Misty Back
The idol's back will always seem wet.  Even after several attempts to dry it, an enigmatic mist keeps forming.  Many people have been perplexed by this unexplained event.  Notice: This essay is based on widely held opinions.  Times Now does not guarantee that the facts and information presented here are accurate or comprehensive.
