Tirumala, the abode of Lord Venkateswara, is renowned for its tradition of providing free meals to all pilgrims, irrespective of their caste, creed, or religion. This sacred practice, known as Annadanam, is a testament to the temple's commitment to serving the needs of its devotees. The Sri Venkateswara Annaprasadam Trust, established in 1994, is responsible for managing this massive undertaking. Every day, an average of 100,000 pilgrims are served wholesome, hygienic, and delicious meals at various locations across Tirumala. During peak seasons and festivals, the number of meals served can exceed 200,000 per day! The food served is typically vegetarian and includes rice, sambar, rasam, curd, and a vegetable dish. The meals are prepared in a state-of-the-art kitchen that can churn out thousands of meals in a matter of hours. The ingredients used are of the highest quality and are sourced from all over India. The Annaprasadam canteens are spread across Tirumala, making it convenient for pilgrims to grab a quick bite. They are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring that no one goes hungry. In addition to the regular meals, the trust also provides special meals for infants, children, and the elderly. They also have a dedicated team of volunteers who assist in serving the food and cleaning up the premises. The Annadanam is not just a service to the pilgrims; it is also a way for the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) to give back to the community. The TTD is a self-financing organization, and the revenue generated from the sale of laddu prasadam and other offerings is used to fund various social and religious activities. The Annadanam is a shining example of the spirit of charity and compassion that is at the heart of Hinduism. It is a reminder that even in the midst of our material pursuits, we should never forget our spiritual...
