Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams
[4] The total net worth of the organization in 2024 is ₹3,000,000,000,000 (US$35 billion) (₹3 lakh crore), making it the richest Hindu temple board in the world.According to the act administration of the temple was vested in a committee of seven members and overseen by a paid commissioner appointed by the Government of Madras Presidency.Apart from the responsibilities defined in the previous act, Devasthanam was obliged to promote the study of Indian languages and propagate Hindu dharma by research, teaching, training and literature creation.After increased pressure from the priests over a long period,[8] the Andhra Pradesh government made an amendment to the act in 2006, to discontinue these two controversial clauses.TTD has almost all the responsibilities that a government has, including departments for production (laddus), engineering (dams and roads), water supply, human resources, transport, procurement and marketing, finance and accounting, public relations, information technology, forest and gardens, educational institutions and hospitals, revenue and general administration.Sri Venkateswara Central Library and Research Centre (SVCLRC), established by TTD in 1993, houses approximately 40,000 volumes of books, mainly on religion and philosophy.[12] Arjitha Sevas (Suprabhatham, Thomala, Archana and Astadala Pada Padmaradhana) The food offerings as "Annaprasadams" are being undertaken by TTD in a massive way in the Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba Annaprasadam Complex, donated by Matrsuri Tarigonda Ananta Koti Raju at Tirumala, in all the waiting queue lines and compartments of Vaikuntam Queue Complex I and II, footpath routes, etc.
