The immense wealth of the Tirupati temple is one of the most well-kept mysteries in the world. However, the temple authorities have recently disclosed its net worth, which exceeds that of 32 of the Nifty component companies. Tirupati's world-famous Lord Venkateswara temple's net worth is Rs 2.5 lakh crore.
It will shock you to know that the Tirupati Temple Trust is wealthier than Wipro, Nestle, and ONGC, which have a net worth of about Rs 2.5 Trillion. The board of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) revealed its financial strength for the first time in 89 years.
The valuables of the Tirupati temple contain, to name a few, Rs. 16,000 crore in bank deposits, 960 properties spread around India, 2.5 tons of gold jewellery, and 10.25 tons of gold deposits. It is significant to observe that the renowned temple deposited 1175 kg of gold as an interest to the State Bank of India in 2010. Additionally, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams makes money by auctioning human hair. The auction price for the human hair donated by worshippers to the mandir is close to Rs. 125 crores.
Tirupati Temple, one of the richest temples in the world, is visited by wealthy and well-known celebrities alike - such as Jahnvi Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, and his family, Ekta Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and so on. This holy temple is said to grant wishes in a highly potent manner. It is noteworthy to discover that just 24 organizations in India have a market value greater than the net worth of the mandir.
