Introduction
Lord Tirupati Balaji, also known as Venkateswara Swamy, is a revered deity in Hinduism, worshipped as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh is one of the most visited temples in the world, where millions of devotees seek blessings, protection, and prosperity.
The idol of Balaji at Tirumala is self-manifested, and it is believed that Lord Vishnu himself chose black as his divine form. One of the most astonishing facts about this idol is that it sweats, and the temple priests wipe the divine perspiration with a silk cloth. The idol is also preserved at a specific temperature to maintain its sacred form.
The Symbolism of Lord Balaji’s Posture & Attributes
The position and gestures of Lord Tirupati Balaji hold deep spiritual significance:
- Lower right hand in Varada Mudra – A gesture of blessing, granting devotees their wishes.
- Lower left hand – Represents supreme authority, inviting devotees to surrender at his feet.
- Upper right hand with a Shankh (Conch) – Symbolizes divine sound and purity.
- Upper left hand with a Chakra (Sudarshan Chakra) – Represents divine power and protection.
The Sacred Ritual of Offering Hair to Balaji
One of the most well-known traditions associated with Lord Balaji is the offering of hair. Devotees shave their heads as a form of sacred sacrifice (Tyag) to show gratitude or seek blessings. This practice is believed to eliminate past karmic debts and bring divine favor.
