Srivani Trust Garnering Huge Respose from Pilgrims- Incharge EO

Tirumala, 29 Oct. 19: The newly launched Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana Trust (SRIVANI) has been garnering good reception from the pilgrims as they are not only benefiting from Protocol VIP darshan but also donating their bit in the spread of Hindu Sanatana Dharma which is the chief motto behind the launch of the Trust, asserted the In-charge EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy.
