Balaji is considered Lord Vishnu's Kaliyug Avatar. Lord Tirupati Balaji is believed to be so powerful that mere sight of the idol is enough to emancipate a man from a lifetime of suffering. Lord Venkateshwara is a full four-armed representation of Vishnu. But only two are visible from the front. Lord Balaji is shown having a U shaped tilak on his forehead which is the signature style to describe the divine deity who is the reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. The reawakening of Vishnu is blessed by Kubera the lord of wealth and prosperity which is why he bestowed in a multitude of ornaments from head to toe. Each jewellery and trinket he adorns is a blessing from Kubera and Lakshmi. On his chest is plated two figures of Lakshmi which indicates his everlasting love for her.  He stands tall in his heavy cylindrical crown which is engraved and gilded in unusual designs. Notice he bears conch a disc in his hands. The story of these two is ancient and retold. Lord Vishnu while his consort, Goddess Lakshmi, lays in repose against his chest. Thousands of years ago, a sage named Bhrigu kicked Lord Vishnu on his chest. Goddess Lakshmi forsook her husband and left his loving husband behind angrily. Frantic Lord Vishnu followed her to Earth and decided to stay until she calmed down. His everlasting love bequeathed him a present from Kubera which is why he is the world’s richest god on earth.
