Rs.1 crore ornaments donated to Tirumala temple



TIRUPATI, JUNE 8, 2006: (TIRUPATITIMES.COM)



A princely offering of three body cover ornaments made of gold for the
processional idols of Lord and his divine consorts, total weighing about
10 KG, worth about Rs. one crore was made at the famous hill shrine of
Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala by a devotee from Chennai today.



Temple sources told TIRUPATITIMES.COM that the offering would be used to
cover the bodies of the centuries old processional idols of Lord
Venkateswara, Sri Lakshmi and Sri Padmavathi from neck to the toe at the
hill temple.

The covers which look like the replica of the body of the idols would
protect the ancient idols from the side effects and abrasion caused by
ghee, honey and other liquids including incensed water used during the
celestial baths and other worship performances conducted to the idols
often in the shrine, the sources added.
