The Lord Venkateswara hill temple saw a surge in faith and festivity on Wednesday. Early morning, the idol of Lord Chakrathalwar was carried in a procession to the Sri Bhu Varaha Swamy temple beside the pushkarini pond. Priests performed the sacred 'Chakrasnanam' ritual amid chanting Vedic hymns. As the idol was immersed in the pond's waters, waiting devotees quickly took a holy dip themselves. The town buzzed with pilgrim activity since early hours, following the previous day's Vaikunta Ekadasi festival. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) made big efforts to control the crowd, ensuring smooth movement and steady supplies of food and water for darshan seekers. Adding to the day's significance, Lavu Rattaiah, owner of Vignan Educational Institutions, donated ₹1 crore to the TTD-run Sri Venkateswara Vidyadana Trust. The amount was handed over in person to TTD Chairman B.R. Naidu at his camp office. The evening included two key meetings. The Hindu Dharma Prachara Parishad (HDPP) and Balaji Institute of Research and Rehabilitation for the Disabled (BIRRD) gained approvals. BIRRD can now hire more doctors and paramedical staff to fill vacant posts. This will improve orthopedic and inpatient hospital care. Also, Chennai's Guvee Health Care Charitable Trust will cover the full cost of yearly total knee replacement surgeries for 100-150 patients holding Dr. NTR Vaidya Seva cards. This vibrant day highlighted faith, charity, and healthcare progress at Lord Venkateswara's temple.
