The Venkateswara Temple is dedicated to Lord Sri Venkateswara, an incarnation of Vishnu, who is believed to have appeared here to save mankind from trials and troubles of Kali Yuga. The temple is also known by other names including Tirumala Temple, Tirupati Temple and Tirupati Balaji Temple
Anant Ambani and his fiancée Radhika Merchant were reportedly accompanied by close friends to the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Swamy Temple in Kerala. Anant and Radhika sought blessings at the temple ahead of their wedding
Among the most ancient temples in India, the Guruvayur Sree Krishna Swamy Temple is often referred to as Bhuloka Vaikunta’, meaning ‘Holy Abode of Vishnu on Earth’. The temple’s significance is also attributed to the rituals being designed by the Vedic philosopher Adi Shankaracharya
Guruvayur Sree Krishna Temple is known for conducting hundreds of weddings on auspicious days as there is a belief that a wedding at Guruvayur Temple would lead to a long marital life
Anant and Radhika also reportedly visited the Punnathoor Kotta elephant camp, which is close to the Guruvayur Temple and managed by the temple authorities
