Ramakrishna Theertham
Ramakrishna Theertham is a sacred water body in Tirumala. It is one of the seven holy theerthams in Tirumala, and it is believed to have the power to cleanse the sins of those who take a bath in it on a full moon day with the Pushyami star in the month of Makara (January). The theertham is named after a sage named Ramakrishna, who performed penance here for centuries and was blessed by Lord Vishnu. There is also a temple of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna near the theertham, which was consecrated by the same sage.
