Swami Pushkarini

Swami Pushkarini is a famous lake situated within the temple premises of Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati in the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. It is a natural freshwater spring lake and is spread over an area of 1.5 acres.

This lake is believed to be the holy Lake of Vaikuntha, where Lord Vishnu took a bath along with his wife. It is also believed that Garuda, the mount of Lord Vishnu, brought the water to this site.

It has a madapam in the centre which was constructed by Saluva King Narasimha Raya in 1468. The steps leading to the mandapam were built by saint-poet Tallapaka Annamacharya.
