Re: Fwd: Tirumala main door & game of dice

Dear Janaki Raman,

what you heard is correct. The short person is Sri
Hathiramji Baba and one can find the same picture on
the wall of Hathiramji Mutt.
In olden days, this mutt was taking care of the
activities of the Tirumala temple. Like the Jeeyars
and the Hereditary Trustees, these were also a part of
the team in the Temple administration.
According to their version, Hathiramji is devotee of
Lord Srinivasa. He asks for a boon from the Lord to
come and play a game of dice with him. So, it is
believed that Lord used to play dice with him.

I have just briefed the story here. If you want the
details, will try to get you.

Regards
Chakravarthy
