The feet of Venkateswara believed by the devotees as the place where the Deity first placed his feet when he descended from Vaikuntham (heavens), abode of Lord Vishnu.  

As the previous feet was damaged with a toe disfigured probably due to the coconuts broken there, TTD has taken steps to avoid recurrence of such incident in future.
