Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) on Sunday appealed to the devout to not make any contributions to the devotees walking in a procession from Chennai to Tirumala carrying umbrellas, during the nine-day annual Brahmotsavams scheduled to commence from September 27.
Every year, a few Hindu organisations donate decorative umbrellas, which are taken to the temple in a procession, for use during the Brahmotsavams.
The TTD clarified that the processions are not organised by them, and that public’s donations will not reach the temple management.
