As per the sthala purana it is customary to have darshan of Aadi Varaha before 
Lord srinivasa. The Brahmandapurana, Varahapurana, Skandapurana, Padmapurana 
describes this kshetra. Prasadam to lord srinivasa is first offered to vraha 
perumal, It is said that tirumalai symbolises the vedas  and while tirumalai 
represents head of adisesha, Ahobilam represents its trunk and srisailan 
represents its tail. The names seven hills of tirumalai viz Venkatadri, 
Seshachala, Vedachala, Garudachala, Vrishbadri, Anjanadri and Aanantadri . 

The Padma Purana states that scholars who were gathered in the Yaga performed 
by Manu were discussing about the Supremacy among the Trinity. The discussion 
soon turned into a dispute and sage Bhrigu was asked to go in person to Kailasa 
and Vaikunta to find the fact out for himself and for the benefit of mankind. 
However, when Bhrigu went to Kailasa, the Lord was in a playful mood and was 
sporting with Uma and did not pay attention to the sage. The sage cursed him 
and went to Brahma-loka. 

Now, the sage is the son of Brahma and naturally the Lord of Creation remained 
in His seat and did not receive him, who has come on a special mission. Sage 
Bhrigu could not take this insult and cursed Brahma too and moved over to 
Vaikunta. Vishnu was in his all-knowing sleep, which irritated Bhrigu. The sage 
in his rage kicked the Lord in His chest and the Lord woke up to see the sage 
and got up to receive him. He did not mind the sage kicking him in the chest 
and the imprint of his foot stayed on His divine chest as the Sri-vatsa sign.

Though the Lord could put up with this insult, Mahalakshmi who resides in the 
chest of the Lord could not bear with this and left Him in her anger. The Padma 
Purana says that the Lord, who was lonely, came down to earth to stay in 
Seshachala. He married padmavathi, the daughter of aksharaja. It is believed 
that the lord is repaying the debts till date taken aksharaja and will continue 
to do so till the end of kaliyuga 

For long number of years the deity remained buried under the ground, until King 
Tondaman, prompted by the fact that his cows returned home dry, milked 
somewhere in the forest of their own, came to know of the existence of the 
idol. The Lord became very happy after seeing the temple constructed by 
Thondaman and hence the vimanam is named Anandha Nilaya.

Tirumalai Nambi (Srisailapoorna), maternal uncle and one of the acharyas of 
swami ramanuja did teerta kainkaryam here. Swami ramanuja underttok 18 visits 
to tirumalai to learn Srimad Ramayana and Saranagati tatwa . Sri Adivan 
satakopan constructed the steps to tirumalai .

In Thayar temple there is separate shrines for krishna and Souriraja perumal . 
The brahmotsavam is during puratasi at tirumalai and Kaartikai at tiruchanoor 

Tirupathi is about 11 kms from renigunta station on Madras ? bombay route and 
is well connected by rail and road
