TIRUPATI: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams received donations of 84 crore, the highest ever on a single day in the temple body's history, on Wednesday - the first day of the opening of Sri Venkateswara Pranadanam Trust donation scheme slinked with Udayasthamana seva.
TTD chairman Y V Subba Reddy told reporters that about 70 donors donated 84 crore and the temple body allotted each donor one Udayasthamana seva ticket free of cost as a privilege. TTD launched this new scheme to pool in funds for the establishment of Sri Padmavathi paediatric multi-specialty hospital at an estimated cost of 230 crore.
