Suitable places for the temple construction work were finalized by a team of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) officials. However, a final conclusion on the place of construction was decided and soon, the construction work for the temple is set to commence.

As per reports, the administration of Jammu and Kashmir has agreed to allot 100-acre land to TTD near Jammu-Katra highway for constructing a temple of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. TTD will be constructing a temple along with Vedic school and hospital in the minimum span of two years.

The Maharashtra Government has already allotted land in Bandra where the temple will be constructed possibly at the cost of 30 Crores.

“We also met the Chief Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir and explained the details of our project. It has been a long-pending demand of pilgrims from many North Indian States visiting Tirumala that a replica of the temple be constructed in Jammu,” an official of the TTD Board said after meeting J&K administration regarding the proposal. The TTD delegation met the officials following instructions from Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy.
