Tirupati Chandragiri & Sri Kalahasti Day Trip
Chandragiri, near Tirupati, was a Vijayanagara capital after Hampi fell, and its fort has a palace with a fine audience hall and a sound-and-light show in the evening. Sri Kalahasti, a short drive away, is one of the Pancha Bhoota temples — the wind lingam — where devotees perform the rahu-ketu rituals and the lamp is kept burning without flickering. Neither is on the usual Tirupati pilgrimage run.
