Lord of seven hills gets more gold from unknown devotee!

Lord Venkateswara is the most sought after God by ardent Hindus across the nation. Probably he must be the richest God, with his wealth multiplying on a day-to-day basis. Recently an unknown devotee has donated the idols of the lord and his consorts made out of Gold and embellished with diamonds. The whole set is supposed to accumulate to Rs 1.25 Cr revealed the Tirumala Tirupati Devastanam which is responsible for the temple. They also said that the Lord's idols shall be displayed in a special chamber.

This is not an isolated case when the Lord is given such high value items as donations. Mostly devotees seek his blessings and vow to contribute a specified amount on completing a work. This has become traditional and has been carried on since ages by people across India.

Tirupati is on the foot hills of Tirumala, where the temple of the Lord of Seven hills is present. Every day numerous devotees throng this place in the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh. The town has an airport at Renigunta and the access is easy. While the trains between Chennai and Mumbai halt at this station. There are several other trains from various parts of the country that are bound to the Tirupati Station.

Wiki claims the TTD as 'The trust not only oversees the operations and finances of the richest and the most visited religious center in the world.' TTD has free and paid accommodation in Tirumala and Tirupati. It provides free meals, although donors can make a contribution. The canteen has a capacity to feed 20,000 pilgrims a day. It is also providing free mineral water through pipe lines and banned use of plastic bottles. Planning a visit to this temple town is a must for most NRI, visiting the country. The serenity of the temple is undisturbed and should leave the visitor spell bound with ecstasy. (With inputs from internet-AW AarKay)
