The International Temples Convention & Expo (ITCX) 2025, held in the spiritual heart of Tirupati, served as India’s largest and most influential gathering on temple management, concluded with an unprecedented congregation of 1,500+ temples, esteemed political leaders, and revered religious heads from across Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Value-adding to the narrative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Viksit Bharat 2047, the event served as a transformative platform for shaping the future of temple governance, sustainability, and technological integration while reinforcing the timeless values of Sanatana Dharma. Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a letter of appreciation, said: “ITCX reflects the inherent unity in diversity of temples globally, and is in a way, a celebration of the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - visualisation of the entire Earth as one family."
The closing day continued to make an impact with Nara Lokesh, Minister for Human Resources Development, AP, who acknowledged that “the time has come for us to pull together a world class convention like ITCX to bring thought leadership, exchange ideas and best practices. The mega event united thought leaders, spiritual luminaries, and changemakers from different generations and regions by their commitment to exact socio-economic reform within their own temple ecosystems.
