K. Kannababu, Secretary, Revenue (Endowments), took the oath as a member of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams’ (TTD) newly constituted Specified Authority at the Bangaru Vakili of the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala on Saturday.

TTD Additional Executive Officer Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary administered the oath to Mr Kannababu in the presence of temple officials. Vedic scholars rendered Veda Ashirvachanam at the Ranganayakula Mandapam, where the Additional EO presented Srivari Teertha Prasadams to Mr. Kannababu.

Addressing the media later, Mr. Kannababu termed his appointment a ‘divine opportunity’. He expressed gratitude to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for entrusting him with the responsibility.

Mr. Kannababu said that under the leadership of the Specified Authority Chairman, he would strive for preserving and promoting the religious heritage and spiritual significance of the hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara.
