This act of giving is part of a growing trend of Bengaluru devotees making significant offerings to the temple. Earlier this year, Kalyan Krishnamurthy donated ₹1 crore to the Sri Venkateswara Annaprasadam Trust, ensuring free meals for thousands of pilgrims daily. Around the same time, K M Srinivasa Murthy presented a diamond-studded golden Lakshmi Pathakam worth ₹25 lakh.

Often described as the world’s wealthiest Hindu shrine, Tirumala is not just a spiritual destination but also a humanitarian powerhouse. Donations like this strengthen TTD’s charitable wings, funding healthcare, education, and food security for lakhs of beneficiaries.
