The Famous Madhva Saint, Philosopher Sri Vyasa Teertha, who resided in this area in the 16th century, is reputed to have gained moksha by persistently praising and contemplating the tiny image of Lord Venkateswara on the northeastern corner of the Ananda Nilaya Vimanam.
In brief, the second stage of the Vimana of the Ananda Nilayam contains an icon known as “vimana Venkateswara Swamy.” On the northwest corner of the Vimana, there is a miniature reproduction of the Moola Vigraha. Visitors to this temple make it a point to worship this idol in the hope of finding salvation. The icon has a name board and a silver “Thiruchi” to set it apart from the other idols.

Tirumala Temple Vimana Venkateswara Swamy History and Story
- According to one legend, an anxious Kubera, from whom the Lord had borrowed a sizable sum of money for His marriage, expressed his concern that the Lord might not pay back his debt and might in fact vanish from his sight as the outer Prakarams and the Sanctum were being constructed.
- The Lord promised Kubera that He would establish His Prototype on the Vimana so that Kubera would be aware of the Lord’s constant presence. The Dwaitha cult’s renowned saint Vyasa Teertha, also known as Vyasa Raja, is said to have received the Lord’s blessing by eating only after worshipping this deity, according to tradition.
- Vimana Venkateswara swami is the idol that receives a special darshan out of all the idols at Anandanilayam. On numerous times, the Kannadigas paid swami tribute.
- According to tradition, Vimana Venkateswara Swami was reinstalled by Vysaraya as he was offering Kanikarya to Tirumalesa.
- Vijaya Dasulu said, “Salutations to the golden tower where vimana Sreenivasa Devaru is placed,” as “Hema gopuradi vimana Srinivasa Devaranu nodi namisi.”
- Prasanna Venkatapatidasulu complimented Swami and said the same verse.
- In the presence of Bhuvarahaswami, Swami is seated among the other angles.
- The followers believe that receiving the blessing of this Murthy is comparable to receiving the blessing of Mula Murthy/Prime deity, who is both the destroyer of sins and the auspicious deity.
- The monarch Tondaman constructed Anandanilaya.
- It is none other than Bhagavan Hari who has been enthroned as Srinivasa atop the vimana.
