TTD launches 'Divine Plantation Project' to grow trees for dwajasthambams

• Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will grow its own temple trees on 100 acres to source wood for dwajasthambams (holy flag masts).
• The 'Divine Plantation Project' aims to preserve ancient traditions, making TTD the first temple to cultivate sacred trees for this purpose.
• A devotee from Tamil Nadu donated ₹1 crore to TTD's Sri Venkateswara Pranadana Trust, which offers free medical treatment to poor patients.
• TTD also received two car donations valued at ₹19 lakh from Arjun Kollikonda and Saravanan Karunakaran.

Why It Matters: TTD's unique project ensures sacred temple flag masts are sustainably sourced.
