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.
