    The main gopuram on the east side dates to the Pallava period, while the inner sanctum was expanded under the Cholas. A later renovation by the Vijayanagara king added the ornate mandapa that houses the famous bronze Venkateswara idol. If you’re near the hill, the Marasa Sarovar Premiere Tirupati lobby usually has a quick timeline of the temple’s phases and the Brahmotsavam schedule.
