A diamond studded crown worth 1 crore 80 lakhs of Rupees was presented to Tirupati Balaji by a Chennai devotee, as per the announcement made by Tirumal Tirupati Devastanams management.

It has been a tradition to donate some thing of the earnings in the name of God which is inculcated by our ancestors describing it as a Dharma Karya, a devotional deed. As the temples were treated as the safest of places and a proper use of the money is expected from the accumulation of the wealth of a temple, it was prescribed and has been followed from ages to offer some thing to God.

Whatever is offered to God is nothing, in spite of its exchange value, as God is considered as the real owner of everything in the creation. That is why an offer is made only in the name of God but not to God. This statement makes one not to become proud of his rich offering if made any. It is made customary to offer voluntarily to contribute for the poor and unfortunate who are not lucky enough to have a means to earn.

Some times an incident makes our mind search for similar incidents and the search result may makes us feel not very happy. Presenting a diamond studded crown to Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati by Gali Janardan Reddy comes up on the top of the search as it followed by the CBI raids, arrests and disclosure of many a financial crimes committed by him. As it is an automatic process of the mind it cannot be helped but an offering is a good act in the interest of the society as a whole.
