Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has actually described the chronological order of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu's visit. The Tirupati temple is sometimes called Tirupatura. It is situated on the northern side of Arkata in the district of Candragiri. It is a famous holy place of pilgrimage. In pursuance of His name, Vyeṅkatesvara, the four-handed Lord Visnu, the Deity of Balaji, with His potencies named Sri and Bhu, is located on Vyeṅkata Hill, about eight miles from Tirupati. This Vyeṅkatesvara Deity is in the form of Lord Visnu, and the place where He is situated is known as Vyeṅkata-ksetra. There are many temples in southern India, but this Balaji temple is especially opulent. A great fair is held there in the months of September and October. There is a railway station called Tirupati on the southern railway. Nimna-tirupati is located in the valley of the Vyeṅkata Hill. There are several temples there also, among which are Govindaraja and the Deity of Lord Ramacandra.
