A manifestation of Sri Vishnu, the Hindu preserver god, who resides in the Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh is referred to as Balaji (the strong one), Tirupati (Lord or Pati of Goddess of Wealth or Tiru, Lakshmi), and Venkateshwara (Lord or Ishwara of Venkata hill). The Lord of Tirumala is shown in this exquisitely modeled Sri Venkateshwara copper icon in a splendid four-armed figure, regally decorated and radiating a divinity that reassures the devotee of his omnipresent goodness. He stands atop a delicately formed lotus pedestal, smiles magnificently, and is revered by his bird-mount Garuda, who sits at his feet.
