The famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara near here netted a whopping Rs 1,700 crore income in 2011 during which 22 million devotees, including a galaxy of VVIPs, offered their worship.
While about Rs 1,100 crore of income came from cash offerings by devotees in the temple hundi and interest on investments including gold deposits with nationalised banks, sale of daily tickets for rituals and darshan fetched more than Rs 200 crore during the year, officials of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD),which manages the temple, told PTI.
