Chilkur Balaji Temple

Nestled on the serene banks of Osman Sagar Lake, Chilkur Balaji Temple stands as a symbol of unwavering faith and devotion. Located near Hyderabad in Telangana, this ancient temple is one of the very few in India that operates without any commercial influence — no hundis, no VIP privileges, and no special access. Devotees revere it as the "Visa Balaji Temple" because of the popular belief that praying here helps in obtaining visas to travel abroad. Each year, millions of devotees from across the globe visit Chilkur with hopes, dreams, and prayers, making it not just a religious destination but also a cultural landmark.
