People in the national Capital will have an opportunity to witness and seek the blessings of lord Balaji as the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is set to organise a nine-day Sri Venkateswara Vaibhavotsavam from October 31.
At the replica temple, set up at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, devotees will be able to witness all the services which are performed in Tirumala during Sri Venkateswara Vaibhavotsavam from October 31 to November 9.
The TTD manages the lord Balaji temple in Tirumala and other associated shrines.
Briefing the media after releasing a poster of the nine- day event, Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu said, “It is not possible for common man to witness the daily rituals and special services at lord Balaji temple at Tirumala. Replicating such sacred services at a specially-built Balaji Temple in New Delhi is a unique opportunity for the people of Delhi to witness the same.”
The inaugural programme here will be attended by former Deputy Prime Minister and senior BJP leader, lK Advani.
The event is being sponsored by Nellore-based Swarna Bharat Trust and GMR Group. The trust is headed by Deepa Venkat, Naidu’s daughter.
Announcing the Vaibhotsavam, Naidu further said, “Spiritualism helps in maintaining peace and personal composure in the midst of stressful materialistic living. The world is looking at India for spiritual solace. The event in Delhi is one such opportunity.”
