This ancient temple which is under the control of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is maintained by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams since 1967 and utsavams and rituals in this temple are being performed since 1981.
Today, Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy temple is considered sacred, next to Tirumala temple. Those who are unable to make it to Tirumala can have darshan of Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy to fulfill their wish. As the name indicates, this temple carries significance for newlywed couples. Newlyweds offer prayers first in this temple as this is the place where Lord Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy with Goddess Padmavathi Devi stayed for six months, just after their wedding.
I have tied the Kalyan Kankanam Dhaga on my right wrist. Lets hope that this works as it is believed. I personally believe in God and so I hope for the best always.
The cleanliness is very good in the temple and premises. Even there is landscaping done near the toilets. They have a lot of parking space around the temple in the back side. I think there is a bus stop in front of the temple because a bus to Tirumala Bus Stand stopped when we waved to him. But remember that you should keep your Google Maps set to your destination with navigation because they can't understand your language. We took a ticket of 35 Rs. Each but they dropped us in middle of the road very far away from the Bus Stand. Or direcly use Uber Auto. Because local auto drivers will empty your pockets immediately.
I have attached the pictures in and around the temple. Please check them out. Have a safe trip. TIA.
