Background
Tradition holds that when the young Annamacharya (1408-1503) first climbed the sacred Tirumala hills, the entire mountain range appeared to him not as inert rock, but as the divine serpent Adisesha. Overwhelmed, he sang 'Adivo Alladivo Sri Hari Vasamu' (Behold, there is the sacred dwelling of Sri Hari!). Annamacharya's sankeertanas were engraved on copper plates by his descendants and kept in a cell inside the Tirumala temple, where thousands of plates survive. This song, set in Raga Madhyamavati and Adi tala, describes Venkatachala as the highest of all peaks, filled with golden spires and conferring the supreme state of liberation (Kaivalya). The Varaha Purana and the Skanda Purana connect the Tirumala hills with Vishnu's Varaha incarnation, and the range is traditionally held to be the body of the serpent Shesha, which is why it is also called Seshachalam.
