Chief Justice of India H L Dattu and his family members today trekked the 10-km long stairway leading to the hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara at nearby Tirumala.
Temple sources here told PTI that it took three hours for the CJI to reach Tirumala, the abode of the Lord, from the foot of the hill called Alipiri.
Supreme Court Judge Justice N V Ramana, who arrived here separately for worship, was also present along with top temple officials and other district officials to accord a warm welcome to the CJI on his arrival at the foot of the hills.
After an overnight stay on the hills, Justice Dattu would offer prayers to Lord Venkateswara tomorrow morning, they added.
