    The main aarti at Sri Kalyana Venkateswara starts around 6 pm and runs for about an hour, followed by a late night puja that continues until midnight. If you’re arriving at 4 pm you can still catch the sunset ceremony and then stay for the evening lit up atmosphere. The temple complex is only a few kilometres from the city centre, so you can easily walk or take a short taxi to a nearby stay. A good option is Marasa Sarovar Premiere Tirupati, about 4½ km away, which offers convenient access and comfortable rooms for a quick overnight stay.
