Chilkur Balaji Temple History

As per the folklore, a devotee who used to travel to Tirupati annually could not do so on one occasion due to a severe illness. In his dream, Lord Venkateshwara appeared and declared, “I am right here, in the neighboring jungle. You need not be concerned.” The follower immediately went to the location the Lord had shown him in the dream, where he discovered a molehill he had dug up. When the axe unintentionally struck the molehill-covered idol of Lord Balaji, blood unexpectedly started to pour from the “wounds,” flooding the area and turning it reddish on the chest and below the chin. The devotee was astounded by what he saw when he saw this. Subsequently, he was amazed to hear a voice from the atmosphere saying, “Flood the molehill with cow’s milk.”When the devotee did so, a Swayambhu idol of Lord Balaji—a unique combination of Lord Balaji with Sridevi and Bhoodevi—was discovered. This idol was installed with the appropriate formalities, and a temple was built.

Thus, Sri Balaji Venkateshwara, the Pratyaksha Daiva of the Kaliyuga, is accessible in Chilkur to bestow blessings on His followers who cannot go to Tirupati for whatever reason. To obtain the blessings of the Lord and his consorts, many devoted devotees visit the temple throughout the year, especially during the Poolangi, Annakota, and Brahmothsavams. Chilkur Balaji is also called Visa Balaji.
