"Lord Venkateshwara Temple in Tirupati is the best example of history, heritage and divinity preserved. Being an inseparable part of devotees lives for centuries, Tirupati Temple has grown from strength to strength and has become the most revered Hindu pilgrimage site in the world. Also crowned as the most visited and second richest worship place in the world, Tirupati Temple is one path to finding god."
The ancient and sacred temple of Sri Venkateswara is located on the seventh peak, Venkatachala (Venkata Hill) of the Tirupati Hill, and lies on the southern banks of Sri Swami Pushkarini. It is by the Lord's presidency over Venkatachala, that He has received the appellation, Venkateswara (Lord of the Venkata Hill). He is also called the Lord of the Seven Hills. The Temple of Sri Venkateswara has acquired unique sanctity in Indian religious lore. The Sastras, Puranas, Sthala Mahatyams and Alwar hymns unequivocally declare that, in the Kali Yuga, one can attain mukti, only by worshipping Venkata Nayaka or Sri Venkateswara. |

360 of the interior of St James Church, Poole.
Our first ever attempt at using Gigapan was in the church-yard of St James Church (see here: http://share.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=19748) - the church wardens were so impressed that they invited us back to shoot one inside of the impressive interior. Messed up a little bit on the join and forgot it doesn't overlap on a 360, so isn't quite symmetrical, but I will try and fix this soon and also hopefully fix the stitching errors in the ceiling. Other than that, very pleased!! Taken by Alice Ralph and Denis Roberts of KUBE, Poole - www.kubepoole.org.uk |

(Perhaps equirectanglar panoramas are not suitable in GigaPan. I'm still test-driving) |
