Tirumala Brahmotsavam fetches a record Rs.94 million



TIRUPATI, OCT.3, 2006 (TIRUPATITIMES.COM)



The famous hill shrine of Lord Sri Venkateswara, richest in the country,
at Tirumala near here has fetched a record total collections of about
Rs.94 million during the nine-day annual Brahmotsavam festivals that
concluded today.



Revealing this information to the press on the hills this evening, the
Executive Officer of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), Mr. A.P.V.
Narayana Sarma and Joint Executive Officer, Mr. G. Balaramaiah said
that, of this, the temple hundi (Offering Box) alone has netted the cash
offerings about Rs.70.8 million besides huge gold and other precious
offerings.



The sale of darshan tickets has amounted to Rs.12 million while the
Laddu prasadams sales accounted for Rs. 11.2 million.



About a million devotees from across the country and abroad have
participated in the processions of Lord, both in the morning and night
daily during the nine-day festivals while only half of them have
thronged the shrine to have darshan of the presideing deity of Lord
Venkateswara at the sanctum sanctorum, Mr.Sarma said.



Interestingly, about 2.5 lakh devotees including women and infants have
had their heads tonsured as a fulfillment of vow before entering into
the shrine.


This Brahmotsavam total collection was Rs.10 million more than last
year, he added. http://www.tirupatitimes.com/
