The residents of Tirupati, led by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) trust board chairman and legislator Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, took out a rally around the inner and outer layers of the four streets that originally formed the old town of Tirupati, to celebrate its 894th birthday.
The event began with Mr. Karunakar Reddy formally paying obeisance at Sri Ramanuja’s shrine and inviting the Pedda Jeeyangar and Chinna Jeeyangar, anointed as the pontiff’s successors.
