The Yadavs reached Tirumala on Friday. They offered prayers to Lord Balaji in the early hours of Saturday which is also Tejaswi Yadav’s wedding anniversary.
“This morning, I received energy and blessings from Lord Venkateshwara by worshipping and having darshan at Lord Shri Tirupati Balaji Temple with my family. Tirupati Balaji Temple is a wonderful example of excellent craftsmanship and a symbol of devotion, faith and reverence, located in the Tirumala Mountains of Andhra Pradesh,” the Deputy Chief Minister said in a post on ‘X’.

Sharing his love for travelling to spiritual places, Yadav said, “Traveling to mythological, historical and spiritual places that give out positive energy is a means of gaining knowledge, divine intervention, spiritual solace, self-realization, meditation and connecting with God. It helps in personal and community development and helps us to understand the reason for the basic purpose of human life.” (ANI)
