Accordingly the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), the body which oversees the Venkateswara temple atop Tirumala, unveiled a budget of Rs 3,116 crore for 2019-20 and said that it was expected just cash offerings to account for Rs 1,231 crore of the total amount.  Meanwhile when speaking to reporters TTD chairman Putta Sudhakar Yadav said that according to their estimates, the sale of tickets could fetch around Rs 292 crore, while the famed laddu prasadam may help the religious body rake in around Rs 270 crore.



Reports added from TTD's website that every day on an average, about 3 lakh laddus are sold in Tirumala. Furthermore the sale of hair, which devotees offer to the presiding deity, is another avenue for income for the TTD, estimated to fetch around Rs 100 crore. Meanwhile the TTD chairman also said that around Rs 625 crore would be spent on paying the salaries of the staff who worked in the premises of the temple.
