About the kitchen

The new kitchen will be advanced, automated, with the capacity to prepare and serve more than 200,000 sanctified meals every day, ensuring that every devotee receives nutritious Anna Prasadam prepared with devotion, purity, and care.

Mukesh Ambani said the effort is aligned with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s vision to extend the Anna Seva tradition to all TTD temples.

“Tirumala stands as an eternal symbol of faith, compassion, and selfless service. Through this effort, we are humbled to contribute to the CM's noble vision,” he added.

He visited the town of Nathdwara to attend the Bhog Aarti Darshan of Lord Shrinathji and received blessings from Guru Shri Vishal Bawa Saheb.

During his visit, Ambani also announced the construction of a modern, well-equipped ‘Yatri Evam Varishth Seva Sadan’ (Pilgrim and Senior Citizen Service Centre) in Nathdwara and donated Rs 15 crore to the Shri Nathdwara Temple.
