As many as 2,000 popular titles published by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) are set to be released on the online platform as ‘e-books’, thus benefiting the tech-savvy online readers.
The rare photographs of Tirumala will also be placed on the TTD website so that the surfers can derive spiritual delight on watching the pictures of Tirumala temple and relate its glory.
The TTD’s sales wing will make available the books, compact discs and calendars in sufficient numbers at the Godavari Pushkarams, which are round the corner.
TTD Executive Officer D. Sambasiva Rao, during a review meeting here on Monday, instructed the officials to digitise all the publications to enable netizens across the globe read the content online. “So far, we have placed only 80 publications online and there’s much more to be done”, he said. He directed the Public Relations Officer T. Ravi to popularise as many books as possible at the earliest. Mr. Rao also instructed the editorial wing of ‘Sapthagiri’ magazine to focus on enhancing quality of page-making and designing and also involve scholars to get improved content in all the six languages in which it is published, namely Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, Sanskrit and English.
