Located in the heart of Tirupati, this temple holds immense cultural and religious significance for both locals and pilgrims. It is especially renowned for its annual festival, Gangamma Jatara, which attracts thousands of devotees each year.
 

The Tirupati Gangamma Kuppam, or Gangamma Jatara, is one of Tirupati's most vibrant and culturally significant festivals, celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm. Dedicated to Goddess Gangamma, the presiding deity of the Gangamma Temple, the festival honours her as a protective mother figure deeply revered in local tradition.

Typically held in May, Tirupati Gangamma Jatara spans several days, culminating in a grand celebration. The rituals and ceremonies of Gangamma Kuppam are steeped in tradition and are believed to invoke the goddess's blessings for the protection and prosperity of Tirupati and its people. Devotees engage in various traditional practices, such as wearing distinctive masks and colourful attire, symbolising characters from local folklore. One of the festival’s key highlights is the vibrant procession, where devotees carry the idol of Goddess Gangamma through the streets of Tirupati, accompanied by singing, dancing, and the rhythmic beats of drums. The atmosphere is electric, filled with the fervour of faith and the vibrant colours of festivity.

Gangamma Kuppam is more than just a religious event; it is a celebration of Tirupati's rich cultural heritage.
