TTD Chairman BR Naidu has written to state chief ministers of all states requesting for free land for the construction of TTD temples.
It is known that Kaluyuga God Lord Venkateswara is prayed across the country and has many devotees who come all the way to Tirumala.
Recently at the International Temples Convention & Expo (ITCX) held at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister had expressed a desire to build Lord Venkateswara Swamy temple in each state headquarter and in all countries with a Hindu population.
Naidu said at the time that AP manages 27,000 temples and sees an annual footfall of 21 crore pilgrims, the highest in the country. Naturally a large number of these pilgrims come to Tirumala.
He further said that India’s temple economy valued around Rs 6 lakh crore and added that it was the biggest economic activity. It happens 365 days a year, temple darshan and activities. We are all involved in it, he said at ITCX. He said it was their duty to fulfill the aspirations of people as they are donating for a cause.
During the meet, Naidu said in alignment with PModi’s Viksit Bharat, 2047, vision, ITCX promotes temple governance and economic development while promoting global temple collaboration.
Now, in order to make the dream of Chandrababu Naidu a reality, TTD chairman BR Naidu has initiated the first step in the right direction.
