    The main shrine faces east, and the gopuram on that side is the oldest visible structure, dating to the Pallava era. During Brahmotsavam the procession starts from the temple tank, the Sri Venkateswara Sarovar, and moves up the 1,500 step ascent. If you pause near the hill, the Marasa Sarovar Premiere Tirupati lobby usually has a quick map of the steps and a timeline of the temple’s phases.
