Chakra Teertham

Location

Another lovely pond that lies near to Sila thoranam, the Chakra theertham houses a temple with Swayambu lingam. Like all other sacred water bodies in Tirupati, this theertham also holds fabulous legends.

It is popularly believed that lord Brahama selected this spot as a perfect location for observing repentance. And to cleanse the place lord Vishnu plunge his Sudarsana Chakram and the place where the Sudarsana Chakram fell on became a deep pit, which is popularly called as Chakra Theertham. It is believed that doing penance here would fetch the devotee the lotus feet of the Lord and so this has been turned as the popular spot in Tirupati.
