A.P. CM Chandrababu Naidu donates ₹44 lakhs to TTD Nitya Annadanam

Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and family donate ₹44 lakhs for Nitya Annadanam at Tirumala on grandson's birthday.

In a gesture of devotion, the family of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday (March 21, 2025) donated ₹44 lakhs, equivalent to the one-day cost of the Nitya Annadanam and also served food to visiting devotees. 

Mr. Naidu’s contribution to the free meals service coincided with his grandson Nara Devansh’s birthday at the sacred abode of Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala. Mr. Naidu was accompanied by his wife N. Bhavaneswari, son and IT Minister Nara Lokesh and daughter-in-law Nara Brahmani. 

The Chief Minister and his family reached Tirumala late on Thursday (March 20) night and offered prayers at the hill temple this morning after an overnight stay.

TTD Chairman BR Naidu, Executive Officer J. Shyamala Rao, and Additional EO Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary received Naidu at the main entrance of the temple with the traditional ‘Isti kapal’ honours and led him into the sanctum sanctorum. Later he was also presented with theertha prasadams, the Telugu Viswavasu New Year almanac, dairy, calendar, and other TTD-manufactured panchagavya prasadams by the authorities after the customary vedasirvachanams. 

Tirupati Collector Venkateswarlu, SP Harshavardhan Raju and over half a dozen board members accompanied the Chief Minister during the darshan.
