Swami Pushkarini Lake,

Overview. Welcome to Swami Pushkarini Lake, a serene and sacred oasis nestled within the Sri Venkateswara Temple complex in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. This tranquil lake holds great religious significance, as it is believed that Lord Vishnu and goddess Lakshmi themselves bathed here upon descending to Earth.

Almost neighboring the Sri Venkateshwara Temple, is Swami Pushkarini Lake. According to the legends, the lake belonged to Lord Vishnu and was located in Vaikuntham.

 

It was brought to the earth by Garuda, for the sport of Sri Venkateshwara. Extremely holy, the pilgrims usually take a dip in the waters of this lake before proceeding to the main temple.
