History


The actual Tirupati Balaji Temple is located in Tirumala, and this temple is a duplicate of it.
At Tirumala, everything is a precise replica of the idol, including the Sanctorum, woodwork, and priests. From 1996 to 2003, the Venkateshwara charitable trust constructed the temple. The V H Group spent Rs. 27 crores to create it.

Architecture


The Tirumala Tirupati Temple Devasthanam oversaw the construction of the Tirupati Balaji Mandir near Pune. The finely built entrance gate greets you as you enter the site. Stone has been used to construct it. The carvings on the temple walls are comparable to those on the ancient temple. The interior is also festooned out in timber wood.

Kanchipuram provided the black stone and other construction materials for the temple. Lord Balaji, the temple's principal deity, is sculpted out of wood. Grey oil paint was used to create it. The construction of this temple took nearly seven years, from 1996 to 2003.
