History & tradition
Sri Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy Temple is at Appalayagunta in the Tirupati district of Andhra Pradesh. It is dedicated to Venkateswara, known here as Prasanna Venkateswara. Unlike most temples of Venkateswara, the presiding deity here holds the right hand in the abhaya posture. The temple was built in 1232 CE by Venkata Perumalaraju Brahmadeva, king of Karvetinagaram, and has been managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams since 1988.
