    A quick way to spot the layers of history is to walk the main mandapam corridor the pillars show Pallava carving, the ceiling panels are Chola, and the bronze idol inside the sanctum dates to the Vijayanagara era. While you’re there, you can grab a quick map from the visitor centre that marks the original Thondaiman foundation stones. If you need a place to stay, the Marasa Sarovar Premiere Tirupati is just a short drive away.
