Explanation:

The Tirumala Venkateswara Temple is located on the Tirumala Hills, which are part of the Seshachalam Hills. The Seshachalam Hills are a range of the Eastern Ghats. The Mallamala Hills (often spelled Nallamala Hills) are also a part of the Eastern Ghats, located in the same broader geographical region of Andhra Pradesh/Telangana.
