Rs 100-crore Tirupati-style temple planned in Belagavi, land handed over to TTD
Belagavi (Karnataka) (PTI): A grand ‘Tirupati Venkateshwara Temple’ is set to come up atop a hill in Kolikoppa village on the outskirts of Belagavi city at an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore.
For this mega project, seven acres of land were officially handed over to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) administration on behalf of the Belagavi Reddy Sangha, a press release said.
The president of Karnataka State Reddy Janasangha, Lakshmana Reddy, and the president of Belagavi Reddy Sangha, Ramanna Mullura, handed over the land documents to TTD board member S Naresh Kumar.
According to the release, this temple will be constructed on the model of the Tirumala Tirupati temple within the next two years.
Along with the temple, accommodation facilities for devotees and continuous anna prasada (food distribution) services will be provided, similar to Tirupati, TTD member Kumar said in the release.
According to Kumar, TTD has been allocating funds for the construction, renovation, and rejuvenation of temples across the country.
TTD will provide 80 per cent of the funding for the construction of the new temple in Belagavi. The remaining 20 per cent will be raised through contributions from the Belagavi Reddy Sangha (10 per cent) and public donations (10 per cent) to complete the project, he added.
