Lord Venkatachalapathy (Lord Of Venkata mountains) lives on lat peak of the series of seven
peaks called Thirumala viz Seshadri, Neeladri , Garudari, Anjanadri , Vrushabhadri ,
Narayanadri and Venkatadri .Devotees consider that The mountains themselves are God and
so , in his great book called Jaya Mangala Stotram, the saint Sengalipuram Anantharama
Deekshitar has given this prayer for chanting , when we step on that golden hill, requesting
the holy mountain to pardon us for daring to keep our feet on that holy hill.:-

Swarnachala Maha Punya, sarva deva nishevitha,

Brhamadhayopi yam devaa sevanthaa sradhayaa saha,
Tham Bhavantham aham padbhyaam aakrameyam nagothama,
Kshamaswa thadagam may adhya dhayayaa papachethasaa,
Thwan moordhni kruthaavaasam madhavam daryasya may.

English Translation
Oh very holy golden mountain , which is visited by all devas,
Which is served by Brahma and others with great devotion,
Oh best of the mountains , I am violating you by putting my steps on you,
Please with great mercy pardon me for that sin that I am committing,

Please be kind enough to make me see that Lord Vishnu who is living on your top
