The Srivari Paadalu are the fet of Sri Venkateswara Swamy situated on a high hill in the Tirumala hills. They are decorated with fragrant flowers of various colors. It is believed to be that lord Balaji or Venkateswara placed his foot first time in this place and that made a footprint. 

It is near Chakrateertham & Sila thoranam and provides a beautiful panoramic views of Tirumala valley from the mandapam. The pine trees here are very beautiful and good for taking photos. The golden lotus feet of Sri Swami are always covered with flowers and basil.
