Historical and traditional background
Lord Venkateswara is a form of Vishnu whose worship at Tirumala has a long history, with inscriptions and records attesting to the temple's prominence for over a thousand years. The 108-name format is drawn from Puranic and Agamic literature describing Vishnu and his manifestations. The specific compilation of this namavali reflects the Vaishnava devotional tradition of South India, and its authorship is attributed to the collective tradition rather than a single composer.
