TTD repairs finger of Lord Rama idol believed to be 1,000 years old
Deccan ChronicleTirupati : The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has repaired the broken finger of an ancient Lord Rama idol, which is believed to be 1,000 years old, said an official on Saturday. According to the temple body, one of the fingers of the idol's left hand suffered a minor fracture in 2021 during a fair of Lord Rama, prompting the temple officials to cover it temporarily with a golden shield. "Since there are more than five years left, a committee consisting of jeeyar swamijis, agama advisors and priests recently brought it to the attention of'多igher authorities during the recent annual Brahmotsavams in Tirumala and the authorities in turn requested the committee members to organise a Samprokshana programme," said TTD in a press release. Further, TTD, the official custodian of Lord Venkateswara Swamy in Tirupati, has also decided to organise Sri Rama 'Anguli Sandhana Samprokshana' programme in Tirumala temple on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to correct minor damages to idols.
