The President of Singapore, Mr.S R Nathan accompanied by his wife, Mrs.

Venkateswara at Tirumala near here  tonight.

On his arrival the octogenarian, Mr. Sellapan Ramanathan was accorded a
warm reception by the temple management called Tirumala Tirupati
Devasthanams (TTD). After prayers, the president was invoked Lord's
blessings by the priests while the TTD Chairman Mr. B. Karunakara Reddy

richest hill shrine as earler Mr.Nathan, had visited the shrine on
December 11, 2004.

Chennai on Wednesday morning, he would be offering his worship again by
participating in the daily pre-dawn rituals conducted to the presiding
deity at the shrine.

sacred hills as he has come here to seek the blessings of Lord
