I have a small query. The 'Ananda Nilayam' of Lord Srinivasa of

Tirumala has 4 lions surrounded on the top (4 corners). Our Sri

Vaishnava temples generally have 'Periya Thiruvadi - Garudazhwar' on

the four sides of the Sanctum Sanctorium. I wish to know why lions

are placed at Tirumala.

 

I understood that the followers of other schools tried to degrade the

scancity of our Thirumala and all their evil efforts were vanquished

by Sri Bhashyakarar.

 

Do the lions represent the commotion at that period? I am asking this

question out of ignorance. Learned members, please clarify.

 

Best Regards,

Jayakrishna DaAsan.

Dear DEvotee :

 

The lions are the symbol of Pallava Kings

who were engaged in Temple(Vimana)

renovation . It has nothing to do as some

believe that the Temple originally was

that of DEvi (Sakthi Or the Temple of SaakthAs).
