Kaliyuga Vaikuntham on the Seven Hills (Seshachalam); second only to Srirangam in total Pasurams (202 verses by 10 Azhwars).

According to the Sthala Puranam and ancient Sri Vaishnava Agamas, Divya Desam #75 (Thiruvengadam (Tirumala Tirupati Venkateswara)) is revered as a sacred kshetram in Vada Nadu. The presiding deity, Lord Thiruvenkatamudaiyan (Srinivasa / Balaji), graces devotees in Ninra (Standing) posture facing East beneath the sacred Ananda Nilaya Vimanam, accompanied by Goddess Alarmelmangai Thayar (Padmavathi). Holy dips or prostrations near the Swami Pushkarani, Akasa Ganga are believed to bestow peace, prosperity, and Moksha. Throughout the centuries, Chola, Pandya, Pallava, and Vijayanagara rulers contributed मंडपम्स (mandapams), gopurams, and stone inscriptions preserving the daily Pancharatra / Vaikhanasa Agama worship.
