Ramakrishna Teerth is situated 10 km north of
Shri Venkateswara Temple at
Tirupati, a holy city in
Chittoor District of
Andhra Pradesh. Legend says that this teerth was excavated by the devotees of
Lord Krishna, who performed penance here.
Taking bath here on pournami (full moon) day combined with the star pusya in the month of
Makaram (January-February) will release devotees from all moral transgressions. On this day, prasad from the Venkateswara Temple is taken into the teerth and offered to the image of Lord Krishna positioned there. The same is also distributed among scores of devotees, who throng the venue to have the holy bath.
