In India, a temple is renowned for offering a unique form of divine intervention: tickets to the United States. It is none other than the Chilkur Balaji Temple near Hyderabad.
Every day, over 1,000 visitors flock to the Chilkur Balaji Temple, hoping that their prayers will grant them the coveted visa to travel abroad. The temple, dedicated to Balaji, an incarnation of Vishnu, is believed to have the power to facilitate visa approvals.

The ritual is simple but profound. Pilgrims walk around the temple’s sanctum 11 times while making their wishes. If their prayers are answered, they return to complete 108 circumambulations as an act of gratitude.
This practice began in 1984 when a priest noticed a miraculous event—a stream of water appearing before a shrine as he walked around it. Since then, the temple has become famously known as the “visa temple.”
