Tirumala / Hyderabad, November 9: The Ambanis have announced a major philanthropic initiative — the construction of a modern, fully automated kitchen at Tirumala, dedicated to the Sri Venkateswara Anna Prasadam Trust. The project aims to serve over 2 lakh devotees daily, ensuring nutritious and sanctified meals are prepared and distributed with devotion and care.

The announcement, made with the blessings of Lord Sri Venkateswara, marks Ambanis’ continued commitment to supporting the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and the Government of Andhra Pradesh in their efforts to enhance facilities for pilgrims.

According to the statement, the new kitchen will be a state-of-the-art facility featuring advanced automation systems to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and efficiency. The initiative also aligns with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s vision of expanding the Anna Seva tradition to all TTD temples across the state.

“Through this effort, we are humbled to contribute to Shri N. Chandrababu Naidu garu’s noble vision of extending the Anna Seva tradition to all the TTD temples,” said a statement. “It is our privilege to serve Lord Venkateswara and to be a small part of Tirumala’s divine mission — that no devotee ever goes hungry.”

Expressing gratitude to the TTD and the Andhra Pradesh Government for their guidance and collaboration, the family emphasized that the initiative is a continuation of their “humble service to devotees.”

In a related visit, Shri Mukesh Ambani also offered prayers at the Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple in Thrissur, Kerala, where he donated ₹15 crore to support temple activities and services.

The project reinforces the Ambani family’s long-standing tradition of supporting religious and charitable institutions across India, with a focus on ensuring that faith, compassion, and community service remain at the heart of their philanthropic efforts. DeshGujarat
