TIRUPATI: The beauty of the Tirumala hills has been enhanced by the arrival of mist, mist, torrents and waterfalls along the twin Ghat roads, as well as inland Seshachalam ranges due to the rains brought on by the Cyclone Mandous in the last two days.
The mountain town of Tirumala has recorded 210mm of rain under the impact of the cyclone. As a result of the water flowing down the Seshachalam ranges, torrents like Malavadigundam and Kapila Theertham etc. rush swiftly from the rocks of the hills, delighting devotees and locals traveling through the ring roads of the first ghat. and Tirumala.
Motorists driving along the first Tirumala-Tirupati ghat road stopped on top of the Malavadi Gundam to capture the torrent tumble through the Seshachalam ranges. The pilgrims, especially those who walk the pedestrian routes to the sacred sanctuaries, are seen enjoying every moment, capturing the beauty of nature with their cell phones and cameras.
Along the 15 km long second ghat road, streams of water were seen falling down the mountainous rocks, enhancing the glamor quotient of the Tirumala hills.
Such views occur on the second ghat road only when there is an unprecedented downpour.
Fog and mist engulfed all areas of the ghat road and several sections in Tirumala. In addition to the Malavadigundam and Kapila Theertham falls, several other waterfalls were observed emerging from the rocky structures of the Seshachalam ridges. The embankments were also overflowing along the ghat road areas.
