Indian-American entrepreneur Raj Mantena has donated US$1 million (INR 9 crore) to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), directed toward modernizing the PAC 1, 2, and 3 accommodation blocks used by pilgrims.
Mantena, while announcing the donation in the presence of TTD chairman B.R. Naidu, said that the donation was made on behalf of his daughter and son-in-law, who recently tied the knot in Udaipur.
This contribution adds to Mantena’s past support, including a US$1.8 million (INR 16 crore) donation made in 2012.
A video posted by Naidu on X on Nov. 26 documented the ceremony, showing the leadership team receiving the contribution. Additional executive officer Venkayya Chowdary and Member of Parliament Appalanayudu were also present during the event.
