Taj, the Indian Hotels Company's iconic brand, recently opened its new hotel in Tirupati, located in close proximity to the Tirumala Hills.

Tirupati is home to the shrine of Tirumala Venkateswara Temple and is one of the most visited religious sites on earth.

The Taj Tirupati is inspired by the Dravidian style of architecture and has a unique design evident in its solid lines, open spaces and characteristic curves.

There are 106 spacious rooms and suites available, which are decorated with silk wallpaper and local motifs in the floor carpets. The traditional brass bells are also used at the reception to pay tribute to the local culture.

"Tirupati with its century-old temples has enthralled visitors for years. Taj Tirupati, with its location at the foothills of divinity, offers the perfect place to stay and explore the city," Mr. V K Prasad, General Manager, Taj Tirupati, said.
