Sri Balaji Temple (uttar kshetram) near Pune serves well for devotees of the Tirupati Balaji. The temple complex is very similar to any important temple in South India. The whole aura around the temple replicates the atmosphere of a real South Indian temple place, with authentic architecture and soul stirring music. Thumbs UP: > Extremely clean and well maintained >... More

A huge courtyard and good security (no cellphones/ cameras allowed inside). Pretty and colorful temple with authentic south indian (maybe carnatic) devotional songs in background build a serene atmosphere. Area for removing shoes. careful of those who apply the traditional safron tikka/ bindi on forehead as they do expect dakshina. The prasadam is really awesome. Worth a visit. Temple closed... More

Visiting Sri Balaji Temple here is almost like Tirumala. The temple cleanliness is amazing for the crowd it handles. It is a divine place and you get real god vibrations, once you are inside the temple. It makes you wonder that in these times also that some one have created a temple like the old days, with dedication and love... More

Hardly 50-60 kms from pune Narayanpur Balaji temple is a place worth visit. Replica of original tirupati Balaji temple. In offerings you get the big ladoo too same as Tirupati. This falls in Mumbai-Banglore highway. Road is pretty good and lot of roadside dhabas to enjoy outside meal. Temple has big parking space and they offer free meal coupon(bhandara) but... More

The temple is very well maintained and if you visit quite early in the day (they open at 5 AM) , you can see the main deity in a matter of minutes whereas on a weekend or in the later half of the day, quite a queue builds up. In summer, the ground gets really hot and it can be... More
