Amaravati, November 28, 2025: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu called on the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to embody an "address for spirituality, annadanam, education, and health," directing the temple body to ensure quick, trouble-free darshan for all pilgrims by integrating the devotees' portal with RTGS for seamless bookings.
Speaking at a review meeting with TTD Chairman B.R. Naidu and EO A.K. Singhal, the chief minister emphasised elevating TTD's hospitals to match the Sri Sathya Sai Hospital in Puttaparthi, inviting medical experts as Srivari sevaks for free services.
"All services should be brought under WhatsApp governance for devotee convenience," Naidu said, advocating automation in kitchens to feed 2.75 lakh people daily and an app for sanitation oversight.
The meeting also addressed Vaikunta Ekadasi preparations, with Naidu pushing for innovative programs to accelerate darshan for ordinary visitors amid peak crowds. He instructed affiliating TTD temples abroad and in other states to Tirumala for fund transparency, and redesigning all 5,000 state temples to foster peace and spirituality.
