Lodges are situated on the sides of the roads. Some Dharma salas are also we can find in Dwaraka Tirumala village. But temple is two km far to the village.
Now come to the temple, two roads are leading to the temple. One is the new, second one the old. The new one has been under construction with cement, the old road laid with Tar.
The entrance ticket Car Rs.20, Auto Rs.20, Two wheelers Rs.5. A five minutes journey from the village. The parking place is also under construction. Free dharshan would take few minutes in odd days....But few hours in saturday and weekends and holidays....

THE HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE........
 Dwaraka Tirumala Devasthanam is situated on the top of the Seshachala Hill.  It is Swayambhu. The feet of Lord Venkateswara are in Valmikam(Ant-hill). During Tretayuga Emperor Aja, Grand Father of   Lord Shri Rama worshipped this Presiding deity.
          Sage Dwaraka picked up and unearthed the Lord from Valmikam(Ant-hill) and worshipped the deity, as such it is named as Dwaraka Tirumala. Since the feet of Swayambhu are in Valimikam, about 400 years back another idol brought from Tirupathi and installed on the back of Swayambhu and Pratista was done as per ‘Vaikhanasa’ Agama. This Devasthanam is an unique feature that two idols are located in same ‘sanctum sanctorum’. Two annual Brahmotsvams are being performed, one in Vaisakhamasam (May) for Swayambhu and another in Aswayuja Masa(October) to the installed deity.
          Moreover Sage Dwaraka doing penance seen North, the Lord appeared before him towards South direction as such the temple is located facing South.
          There is staunch belief among the devotees that their desires are fulfilled by worshiping this deity. This place is popularly known from centuries as  Chinna Tirupati(Small Tirupati).
