Net valuation of the Tirupati temple estimated at Rs. 2.3 lakh crore

The Lord Venkateswara Temple's net worth is estimated to be Rs 2.3 lakh crore, making it one of the richest in all of India. For the first time since its founding in 1933, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, the guardian of the temple devoted to Tirupati's presiding deity, disclosed its financial status.

According to the temple trust, it holds 10.3 tonnes of gold in nationalised banks that, at the current bullion pricing, would be worth more than Rs 5,300 crore.

It has 2.5 tonnes of gold jewellery, the majority of which is precious antique jewellery. It also holds a sizable amount of money in banks—roughly Rs 16,000 crore. Donations from organisations, companies, and the faithful provide funding.

Over 7,123 acres in India, 960 properties are included in the list of assets.
