Tirupati package:
In 1843, with the coming of the East India Company, the administration
of the Sri Venkateswara Temple and a number of shrines was entrusted to
Seva Dossji of the Hathiramji Mutt at Tirumala as Vicaranakarta for
nearly a century until the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) was
established as a result of the TTD Act in 1932.
TTD is operated by a Board of Trustees that has increased in
size from five (1951) to fifteen (1987) through the adoption of Acts.
The daily operation and management of TTD is the responsibility of an
executive officer who is appointed by the government of Andhra Pradesh.
The temple attracts approximately 75,000 pilgrims every day.
The annual budget, estimated at Rs 10 billion in 2008, is funded mostly
by donations. TTD runs charitable trusts whose funds are derived from
the budget and donations from the devotees.
