Chilkur Balaji Temple
Located at Chilkur in Moinabad mandal. Around 23 km from Mehdipatnam.
Temple of Lord Sri Venkateshwara also popularly called "Visa Balaji"...!! This name is due to a very large number of devotees with a wish to go to abroad, got their wish fulfilled. It is customary to encircle the temple (known as Pradakshina) eleven times and pray to God for a specific wish. Once this wish comes true, the Devotee has to visit again and perform 108 Pradakshinas. This is one of the very few temples in India which does not accept monetary donations in a Hundi and therefore does not fall under the purview of endowments dept of our Government The Temple circulates a monthly magazine "Vak" which means Speech (Of GOD), nominally priced at Rs 5.00 only. This magazine is the only source of 'Temple-Income'.

Famous quotes containing the word temple:
“If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
