The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has provided a financial grant of ₹25 lakh to 501 temples constructed in backward areas for carrying out dhoopa, deepa and naivedyham rituals.
Briefing the media on Friday, TTD Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy said the grant was released from the Srivani trust funds for August, and each temple was provided with an aid of ₹5,000.
During the monthly pilgrim interactive session held at Annamaiah Bhavan on Friday, he said the Board has already resolved to procure fine-quality rice from the State Rice Millers Association to improve the taste of the food supplied under the Nitya Annadanam scheme.
