Mysuru: There is a strong belief among people that all the sins committed in life would be wiped out if one visits Tirupati and has the darshan of Lord Venkateshwara.
The poor go house to house begging for money and with funds thus collected visit Tirupati. To cater to this class of people, the founder of Sri Kalyana Lakshmi Venkateshwara Temple H.G. Giridhar arranged a free trip to 2,200 devotees in 40 buses to Tirupati. The pilgrims began their journey on Feb.26 evening from Kalyana Lakshmi Venkateshwara temple in N.R. Mohalla for the Lord’s darshan. RSS Senior Pracharak flagged off the yatra. Temple Founder Giridhar, Vishwa Hindu Parishat District President Revanna, BJP leaders Anil Thomas and Ramesh, ST Morcha President Nagaraju and others were present.
