Sri Vedanarayana Swamy Temple, Nagalapuram

Located 70 km from Tirupati on the Chennai highway, this rare Vaishnava temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his Matsya avatar, making it one of the very few temples in India enshrining the fish incarnation. Built by Vijayanagara emperor Krishnadeva Raya in the Dravidian style, the temple is administered by TTD. It is famous for the annual Surya Puja, when sunrays fall directly on the presiding deity for a brief window each morning during the Phalguna month.
