Lord Venkateswara,popularly known as Balaji, is the presiding deity of the Tirumala Hills, in AndhraPradesh,India. He is one of the manifestations of Lord Vishnu. He revealed Himself and settled at that place in deference to the prayers of Sage Narayana, who did rigorous penance. The sage requested Lord Vishnu to settle there showering his eternal grace on the human folk, who were very much depressed and who were unable to follow the rigorous yoga practices to realize the God.
