Kochi motorbike tour Thirumala devaswom temple
The presiding deity of this famous temple is Sri Venkateswara and there are four small shrines dedicated to various deities - Hanuman, Garuda, Vigneshwara and Goddess Mahalakshmi, Vigneshwara. The main idol is Sri Venkateswara and his consorts Sreedevi and Bhoodevi are on his either sides, as one will find in many Vishnu temples of Tamil Nadu and other southern states. In the outer area of the main shrine a visitor can not miss a unique giant bronze bell about four feet in diameter and six feet in height, supposed to be rung or chimed during various Kaala Poojas.
