According to the temple beliefs, `prayers' are of four kind - `anga pradakshinam', trekking the holy hills on bare foot, offering of hair and performance of kalyanotsavam to the Lord. Of them. 
 
angapradakshinam' is regarded as the best way of fulfilling one's prayers as it involves more physical constraints. A devotee performing the `angapradakshinam' prefers to starve (upavasam) the previous night, does not prefer to sleep, have a holy dip in the temple tank (pushkarini) braving the cold weather at Tirumala and reach the queue complex before 2 in the morning with wet clothes

Angapradakshinam is generally restricted to the weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). It is also restricted when there is heavy influx of pilgrims.
