Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Chairman Bhumana Karunakara Reddy launched a revamped website for TTD to give extensive publicity to TTD-managed temples in Tirupati and other locations across the country. The launch event took place at the Mahati Auditorium on Monday.
The revamped website will provide updates on local temple history, arjita sevas, darshan hours, transport, and other infrastructure available at over 60 TTD-managed temples and information centers nationwide.
The portal will contain photos, videos, and other geographical details, with technical support from Jio and configurations made by the TTD IT department. TTD EO AV Dharma Reddy, JEOs Sada Bhargavi, Veerabrahmam, chief vigilance officer Narasimha Kishore, IT manager LM Sandeep, and others were present at the launch.
In addition, the TTD distributed the second phase of land pattas to TTD staff at the Mahati Auditorium. Bhumana Karunakara Reddy mentioned that TTD handed over land to the staff at the lowest possible price, highlighting that this practice is not seen anywhere else in the world. A total of 1,703 TTD staff members received the pattas.
Bhumana Karunakara Reddy also mentioned that he initiated the idea of distributing land to TTD staff 17 years ago with the then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Dharma Reddy added that 450 acres of land at Erpedu had been procured for the third phase of distribution, and retired employees would also receive land pattas in this phase.
