Padmavathi (Telugu: పద్మావతి, Sanskrit: पद्मावती, lit. 'she of the lotus') also known as Alamelu Manga,[1][2] or Alarmel Mangai is a Hindu goddess and the consort of the deity Venkateshvara, a form of Vishnu. She is described as a daughter of a local king and an avatar of goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu.[1][3]
The most prominent shrine of Padmavathi is Padmavathi Ammavari Temple situated at Tiruchanur, a suburb of Tirupati. Tradition dictates that every pilgrim to Tirupati must offer obeisance at this temple before visiting the Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala, the central temple of her consort.
