Additionally, the golden ornaments and silver vahanas at the temple were donated by Rani Chinnamma Rao, the queen of Mylavaram in Krishna District, who reigned from 1877 to 1902.

[5] As per legend, the temple's origins trace back to the great sage Dwaraka, who discovered the self-manifested idol of Lord Venkateswara after intense penance.

When the Lord manifested, the lower half of the idol was submerged within the anthill, preventing the customary foot worship (Pada Puja) of the deity.

This is believed to be due to the position of Dwaraka Maharshi, who performed penance facing the north, leading to the manifestation of the deity in the south-facing direction.

[3] Additional shrines within the complex include deities such as Padmavathi, Nanchari, and Anjaneya Swamy, alongside images of Sage Dwaraka and Annamacharya.

[1][9] Devotees often fulfill vows by tonsuring their heads at the Kalyana Katta near the temple, a tradition linked to Neela Devi's sacrifice for Lord Venkateswara.

At Dwaraka Tirumala, Lord Venkateswara does not receive an abhishekam (ritual bath) due to the presence of red ants (Konijulu) in the inner sanctum.

Facilities include free annaprasadam for thousands of pilgrims daily, a Gosala housing over 300 cows, and well-maintained lodging for devotees.

[10] In 2020, the temple was included under the Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive (PRASAD) scheme, with ₹83.83 crore sanctioned for phased development to enhance amenities and promote religious tourism.

[11] In December 2022, the administration declared the temple a tobacco-free zone, banning smoking and tobacco products within the premises and imposing strict penalties for violations.
