It is believed that he came to reside on the southern bank of Swami Pushkarni, a tank which passes by Tirumala. The seven hills around Tirumala-Tirupati are also known as Sapthagiri after the seven hoods of Sheshnag - the cosmic serpent. The temple of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak, Venkatadri. Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirumala is located 860 metes above sea level atop a hill named Venkatadri. It is the last of the seven hills one has to traverse through from Tirupati, a transit point for Tirumala. This temple's importance in Indian religious milieu cannot be undermined. Some of the Vedic hymns aver that in Kali Yuga one can attain bliss (mukti) only by worshipping Sri Venkateswara or Lord Balaji, as he is also known.
