History:

It is one of the oldest temples in Hyderabad. It was built during the time of Madanna and Akkanna, the uncles of Bhakta Ramdas.

The temple is one of the oldest temple in Telangana State. According to tradition, a devotee who used to visit Tirupati every year and he can’t go because of serious ill-health. Lord Venkateshwara appeared in his dream and said, “I am right here in the sylvan nearby”. Don’t worry about that. The devotee at once moved to the place seen on his dream which was indicated by Lord Venkateshwara and saw a mole-hill there, and he started digging up. Once a time, the axe struck Lord Balaji’s idol covered by the mole-hill below the chin and on the chest, and he saw that blood are flowing from the “wounds”. And he was not believing on that scene, and he saw that, the ground fulled with the blood and turning it scarlet. And suddenly he heard a voice from sky which said “ Floor the mole-hill with cow’s milk”. When the devotee did so a Swayambhu idol of Lord Balaji accompanied by Sridevi and Bhoodevi (a rare combination) was found, and his idol was installed with the due rites and a temple built for it.

Sri Balaji venkateshwara, the Pratyaksha Daiva in kaliyuga, is thus available at Chilkur to shower blessings on His devotees who for any reason are unable to go to Tirupati. Many devout worshippers flock to the temple, to receive the blessings of the Lord and his consorts throughout the year particularly during the Poolangi, Annakota and Brahmothsavams
