TIRUPATI,NOV11( PTI)


The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam, which administers the affairs of
the hill temple of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala near here, is
thinking of launching a spiritual satellite channel soon, TTD Board
Chairman B Karunakara Reddy said here today.

He told PTI that after in-depth consultations with the experienced
and learned people, the <b>TTD would take a decision to finalize the
language and name of the channel to propagate Hindu culture in a big
way and the temple's daily activities for the benefit of Hindus the
world over</b>.

He also said the TTD has decided to float a trust to tap funds to
meet the cost of the 100 kg of gold to be used in
making 'Tirumangalyams, ' each weighing about one gram, for free
distribution to poor couples during conduct of one lakh mass
marriages performed by the TTD at various TTD marriage halls in
Andhra Pradesh every year.

<b>On February 22 next, the TTD would perform 50,000 marriages in the
state, he added.</b>
