About Sri Padmavathi Devi Temple
Padmavathi Temple is the temple dedicated to Goddess Padmavathi or Alamelumanga, the consort of Lord Venkateswara. The Temple is situated in Tiruchanur, at a distance of 5 km from Tirupati in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
The idea for this temple germinated in the year of 1974 - 1975, when his holy Srila Prabhupada visited Tirumala- Tirupati on the request of Andhra Pradesh Government. Impressed with the spiritual atmosphere of the place and after seeing thousands of devotees visiting every day, he saw this Tirupathi as an ideal place to promote the teachings of Bhagwat-Gita and Lord Krishna while in turn creating an environment of amity throughout the world.

Birth of Padmavathi Amman(Mahalaskshmi )
Akasharaja grew up to be a handsome and wise prince. He married Dharanidevi.The royal couple was sad because they had no children. A king called Akasa Raju saw the valley between the Seshachalam Mountains and Mallayapalli hills and the plains below into which holy waters of the river Swarnamukhi flowed.
He wished to perform a sacrifice here for progeny. On the advice of priest, Akasharaja decided to perform a yagna. When the sacrificial ground was ploughed, the couple found a lovely girl in a thousand petal lotus.Chennai to tirupati car packages.
A divine voice urged the king to bring up the child with love and care. The child was named Padamavati as she was found in a lotus (Padma). As he tilled the land, a thousand petaled lotus flowers emerged from it. The king found a female child in the lotus. Since she was found in a lotus flower- padmam- she was named Padmavati. The deity at Tiruchanuru is also called Padmavati.
Puranas hail that Srinivasa did penance for 12 years because of which Sri Mahalakshmi was born in the golden lotus. That is the reason for which this tank is known as Padmasarovaram. On its bank stands the temple of Surya Built by the God Venkateswara himself.

Vakshasthala Vyuha Lakshmi
The Goddess Alamelumanga whom they praised is the Vakshasthala Vyuha Lakshmi i.e. the goddess who resides in the heart of Sri Venkateswara. Now Goddess Padmavathi is being considered as Vira Lakshmi.It became imperative to spread the message that whether she is called Goddess Padmavathi Devi or Alamelu Manga – both refer to but one and the same Goddess to dispel doubts in the minds of pilgrims, and to worship her.Tirupati tour package from chennai.
Hence, the god of Tirumala customarily sends turmeric, kumkuma, and silk clothes as presents honoring the Goddess of Tiruchanur on the occasion of Panchami Theertham in the month of Kartika (Tirthavari).When Padmavathi grew up, Lord Venkateshwara came in search of her.The celestial marriage of Lord Srinivasa and Goddess Padmavathi took place on a grand note.

Why Padmavathi is not with Lord in Tirumala
The legends about the deity Alamelumanga are innumerable indeed.When the newlyweds reached Tirumala the God asked his consort to look around for vepa and Karivepaku (Neem and Curry leaf) trees.When she could not find any, he told her to fetch at least a karivepaku plant if not neem.
Mother got angry, she went in search of it, reached Alimelu Mangapuram and decided remains there. Was not the Padma tank the place where she was born? When she did not turn up Lord Srinivasa did not ask her to return, nor did she go back.How many times, he makes these trips is not known, but the footwear is worn out. Chennai to tirupati packages.
However, sometime in the middle of the night, Lord comes to Alipiri, dons footwear in the Padala Mantapam, goes to enquire about her well being and while returning leaves his footwear at Alipiri again and reaches Tirumala for the Suprabhata Seva which is the service performed early in the morning.
Why Padmavathi is not in Tirumala
The husband, Srinivasa lives up the Seven Hills in ‘Ananda Nilaya’! His wife Alamelu Manga lives in Tiruchanur, down the hills in ‘Shanti Nilaya’! Doesn’t it look queer? There seems to be a special reason for this.Long ago, Padmavati used to live in ‘Shanti Nilaya’, a golden palace, perched on a hill as high as the Seven Hills. But the mata in ‘Shanti Nilaya” used to bestow a little more benevolence than the Swami in ‘Ananda Nilaya’.Because of the weight of her benevolence, the hill on which her palace was perched, sank into the ground. That was the reason for both being separate – one.
Swami – Standing in Ananda Nilayam
Another point to note: Swami is in the standing posture in the temple on the hill, with all his weaponry as if he is ready to go somewhere. It’s difficult for the devotees to convey to him any of their problems. Due to this diffidence, we forget to seek from him all that we want.
Alamelu – Sitting on Lotus
But downhill! Alamelu Manga mata sits on a lotus very leisurely holding two lotuses in her hands in abhayamudra [assurance], as if saying, “Come on, tell me what you wish!” She listens to our pleadings and passes them on to her husband. She pressurises Him and ensures that he grants them.
In case, Swami pretends not to have listened to her messages, She says, “Swami, it’s only because of keeping me on your chest as ‘Vyuha Laxmi’, you have been in existence as Srinivasa. It’s because of me you had left Vaikunta and did penance on the bank of Lotus.Like that she teases him and tactfully diverts His attention towards the devotees and their pleadings. Thus she is a mother of Mothers – Alamelu Mangamma.
Final result!!! Swami accedes to her pleadings and recommendations and grants them saying, “You have more benevolence on the devotees than I.” Like that Lord, Srinivasa has been granting the wishes of the devotees with a smile for ages. This is what happens because of Alamelu Manga Mata of Tiruchanur.
