Vakula Devi

Vakula Devi

Vakula Devi is the foster-mother of the Hindu god Venkateshwara, a form of Vishnu. As per the legend of Tirumala, the legend of Vakula Devi dates back to the Dwapara Yuga. In the legend, Yashoda, the foster-mother of Krishna, an avatara of Vishnu, complained to him that she could not witness his wedding with Rukmini, an avatara of Lakshmi. To this, Krishna replied he would ensure that she would get such an opportunity to see his marriage to a form of Lakshmi in the Kali Yuga.
