First option after Birla Temple
Chilkur Balaji Temple is very famous in Hyderabad, it is close to the city. Many people including public figures come to the temple. If you want to visit a temple around Hyderabad after Birla Temple, it is the first option.

World's best temple
It is world's best temple for needy who are in trouble. So I request all of you to see the temple and take blessings of Venkateshwar. I used to go there when I have free time.

A temple that gives spiritual power
Chanting of Balaji Vedas gives you spiritual power and unconditional love towards world. Whenever we visit the temple it gives pleasure of unwilling faithfulness towards God.

The magical spiritual of 108 pradakshinam
This Lord Balaji temple located in Chilkur an hours drive from Hyderabad, is run by a family trust from many generations. The method is as follows, first do the pradakshina of 9 rounds and pray for a wish that is practical and achievable but unattainable from normal human methods. You are trying to invoke divine power to fill you with strength such that you stretch a lot more than you usually can, to achieve what you thought was way beyond you. It is believed (and my own experience) if you stretch yourself that much more, you will attain what you thought was unattainable. Once you achieve it, come back to the temple and do a pradakshina of 108 rounds around the temple. Believe me, you will find the strength to walk for 4-5 hours. The head priest does entertain you with slokas (it's amazing to listen to the slokas), some jokes about what people do when walking, etc also some people do sing devotional songs and also engage the pradakshina walkers to recite slokas. It's all an amazing experience. You feel tired but not tired enough, after the walk you feel you have not had enough of it, so different when you think of having your morning walks and then decide to cuddle back under the quilt. Overall a fantastic experience. Top-Tips: Don't wish for money, becoming rich, buying car house or such. Pray specifics like getting some strength to contribute or gaining control over some health issue (not pray for cure-some diseases are non-curable). Keep it simple and you have to put your effort, God will nopt work for you, you have to work for yourself. But this prayer will help you gain strength and interest to complete those tasks, that's God's blessing.
