Why Camphor is placed in Thirupathy Balaji's Chin

Once upon a time, Sri Ramanujacharya was discussing about idol of Tirumala with his disciples that there’s no one to take care of Lord Venkateshwara and someone should take initiative to serve the lord. With excitement, one of his disciples ANANTHALWAR

came forward to take reponsibilities of Tirumala temple.Ramanujacharya warned him that no one would be there to help him. Ananthalwar replied he don’t need anyone’s help. Only himself and his wife would serve the Lord. Next morning, Ananthalwar started to Tirumala with his wife.

Everyday he does flower service to the Lord. Thus he decided to grow a flower garden on Tirumala hills near to the temple. Ananthalwar took a vow to complete this work by would be done by him and his wife only.He began digging the water well to supply water to his flower garden

Lord decided to help them after Watching their hard work and decent. So he appears as a boy and starts helping his wife to throw mud. By seeing this, Ananthalwar got angry and throws his crowbar to the kid.that crowbar hits that boy's chin. Then boy disappears from there

After finishing the garden work, Ananthlwar went to the temple to offer worship.there he noticed that Lord idol chin got hurt and bleeding continuously.then Ananthalwar got realized that boy is a Lord Venkateswara and he immediately rubs with camphor to stop bleeding

While rubbing camphor to Lord’s chin, Ananthalwar heard a voice from an idol saying “From today onwards, camphor on my chin will be a part of my Alakara. Without camphor, my alankara doesn’t complete.”
