Venkateshwara temple at Jammu. Soon will be a reality.

The foundation stone for the 62.06 acres Lord Venkateswara temple of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) was laid here on a 62.06-acre piece of land at Majeed village near Jammu on Sunday. The administration of the temple will be done by TTD directly which is in charge of Tirupati Balaji temple also. 

The ceremony was attended by Union ministers G Kishen Reddy and Jitendra Singh, as well as Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha.

The Jammu and Kashmir administrative council, headed by Lt Governor Sinha, on April 1 had approved a proposal to allot land to the TTD for building the temple and its allied infrastructure on a lease basis for a period of 40 years.

The arrival of TTD in Jammu will enhance the tourism potential of the state as devotees who visits Mata Vaishnav Devi and Holy Amarnath Caves will add Lord Venkateshwara temple too in their tour itinerary that will increase spiritual tourism of the state, enhance economic activities while creating more direct and indirect jobs for the locals. 

The parallel projects along with the temple that is coming up in the form of educational institutions, Amenities for pilgrims, a Veda Patashala, a spiritual and meditation center, an office, residential quarters, and parking hospitals are another biggest blessing for the region.
