Lord Venkateswara, popularly known as Balaji, is the presiding deity of the Tirumala Venkateswarea Temple in India and is one of the manifestations of Maha Vishnu. Every year devotees donate a great amount of wealth at the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, to help Vishnu pay his debt to Kubera, who he took a loan from to pay the bridal price to the father of Padmavati in order to marry her. Lord Vishnu cannot return to Valkunta until his debt is repaid, and therefore resides at the temple. This beautiful 8-inch high, 5.5-inch long, 2.5-inch wide Lord Balaji cold-cast bronze statue depicts the deity in remarkable detail. It's an exquisite piece for pooja and makes a great gift.
