Tirupati, October 22, 2025 — Devotees offer numerous gifts and donations to Lord Srinivasa at Tirumala, and the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has been receiving substantial contributions from devotees. Chairman B.R. Naidu on Monday stated that from November 1, 2024, to October 16, 2025, a total of ₹918.6 crore in donations was received. He added that after the formation of the coalition government, the number of donors has gradually increased, and TTD is ensuring that devotees receive proper attention with seamless services. TTD is also providing special facilities to these devotees in recognition of their generous contributions.
Among the donors, there are individuals contributing not only cash but also support for construction projects, purchase of machinery, and technological development.
