This is one of the good art from bapu, Lord Govinda in dancing form. Lord Sri Venkateswara is also known as Govinda, Venkatapathi, Srinivasa and by many other names.
I adore the primeval Lord Govinda, whose lotus feet are always held by Ganesha upon the pair of tumuli protruding from His elephant head in order to obtain power for His functions of destoying all the obstacles on the path of progress.
Many saints have visited the shrine and worshipped Venkateswara. Notable among them is the foremost Jagadguru Adi Sankaracharya, who came to Tirumala and placed the Sri Chakra at the feet of Venkateshwara and sang the song "Sri Vishnu Paadadi Keshanta Sloka", in which the Jagadguru describes the beauty of the Lord from the crown to the toes. It is also believed that when the Jagadguru reached Tirupati hills, he found that it looked like Saligrama and so decided against climbing the hills on foot as by doing that he would be disrespecting the Supreme. Noting this the Lord sent down his mount Garuda to bring the acharya and his disciples atop the mountain to have the Lord's darshanam. Ramanujacharya installed chakra and conch on the deity after a dispute.
