A natural rock arch in the hills above Tirumala temple, formed by millions of years of weathering on the quartzite bedrock. The arch is protected as a national geo-heritage monument and stands within the larger Tirumala temple area, an easy detour from the main pilgrim circuit.
A short paved path with railings leads to a viewing platform at the arch. The walk takes 10 minutes; allow another 15 to enjoy the view and read the interpretive signs. Combine with the nearby Tirumala temple itself, the Sri Venkateswara Museum, and the Akasaganga waterfall on a single half-day on the hilltop.
