TTD JEo Clarifies on Prasadam Rates

Tirupati,5 December 2017: The temple management of TTD has not increased the rates of laddu prasadams for general pilgrims but revised rates for dharmic organisations which are organising religious programmes with the support of TTD in various places on their request, asserted Tirumala JEO Sri KS Sreenivasa Raju.

Giving clarification on the revised rates of prasadams to religious institutions in  Sri Padmavathi Rest House in Tirupati on Tuesdayevening, the JEO said, keeping in view of the representations that are being received from certain religious organisations for the supply of additional laddu and vada prasadams whenever religious programmes are organised in their places, TTD has revised the tariff of prasadams only on such requests.

"We normally supply 10 Big laddus at Rs.100 each, 10 vadas at Rs.25 each, 200 small laddus at Rs.25 each and 1000 mini laddus at Rs.3.50each. But some organisations appealed to us that the devotees are coming in thousands in some areas and they require more prasadams. They also mentioned that they are willing to pay the amount fixed by TTD on these additional prasadams. So we have revised the tariffs for Big laddus as Rs.200 per laddu, vada at Rs.100 each, small laddu at Rs.50 each and mini laddus at Rs.7 each. The above prasadams will also be supplied to the organisations on payment subject to availability of stock. There is absolutely no change in the price of laddus that are given to pilgrims. These prasadams will also be not sold to any non religious functions or organisations", he clarified.
