Srinivasa Mangapuram, a small village, is 12 kms to the east of Tirupati. Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy temple is located South-east of this village. Legends say that Lord Venkateswara after his marriage with Padmavathi Devi stayed her for some time before proceeding to Tirumala . In srinivasa mangapuram there is way to Tirumala known as srivari Mettu , which is very shortest footway to Tirumala. According to puranas Lord has reached Tirumala after his marriage along with Padmavathi Devi through this footway. The shrine was renovated by Talapakka Chinna Tiruvengatanatha in the 16thcentury .It is now under the Archaeological Department of India. Around the Srinivasa mangapuram there is a entrance for Chandra giri Fort, which was built by Vijayanagara emperors.
