TIRUPATI, SEPT.9 :TIRUPATITIMES.COM
The price of Laddu prasadam sold on the recommendation letters at the
famous hill shrine of lord Venkateswara at Tirumala near here has been
hiked one and half times with immediate effect.
The price of Rs.100 Laddu Padi Ticket (LPT) to obtain 10 laddus on
the recommendation letters issued by different influential sections
including VIPs, politicians ,officials of all the four estates and
business magnates since last one decade has been enhanced and started
selling it to Rs.250 from this evening.
The newly constituted eleven member TTD Board with Mr.B.Karunakara Reddy
as its Chairman in its first meeting held on the hills today has taken
this decision.
He said that the decision was taken to curb laddu black marketing on the
hills and also other unholy usages of laddus including distribution of
laddus during weddings and political activities.
The price of Rs. 75 big laddu called as kalyanam laddu has also been
hiked to Rs.100. he announced.
The board also decided to construct three mega guest houses consisting
of about 850 suites for the benefit of common devotees on the hills
besides two massive pilgrim amenities complexes, he said.
The Board also decided to sell Bhundi prasadam weighing about 175 grams
(the same quantity of each laddu) filled in well packed pouches made on
par with the pouches of multinational food or biscuit companies, Mr.
Reddy said adding that the boondhii would be sold only when there is
heavy demand for laddus due to very heavy rush of devotees on the hills.
