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. http://www.tirupatitimes.com/ <http://www.tirupatitimes.com/> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
