Religious Significance
According to the legends, once the sage named Dwaraka was doing penance to Lord Venkatesawara. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Venkatesawara gave him darshan. Dwaraka was advised by Lord Venkatesawara to install his image in a temple lying hidden in an ant-hill. Sage Dwaraka located the self manifested idol of Lord Sri Venkateswara and he installed the idol there in the hill and built a temple.That's how the pilgrimage centre is called "Dwaraka Tirumala" after the great saint. According to some Puranas the temple is popular even in Kruta yuga and is still attracting the devotees.
