Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has reported a significant rise in its Hundi collections for the financial year 2025-26, with total donations reaching an impressive ₹1420 crore. This marks an increase of ₹75 crore compared to the previous financial year 2024-25, reflecting a steady upward trend in temple contributions. The growth highlights the continued faith of devotees visiting Tirumala and making offerings, reinforcing the temple’s position as one of the richest and most visited religious institutions in India.

A closer look at the monthly data reveals that July 2025 recorded the highest Hundi collection, bringing in ₹130 crore, while February witnessed the lowest collections at ₹106 crore. Despite minor fluctuations, TTD has consistently maintained a strong inflow of donations throughout the year. Notably, ever since the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, the temple has been witnessing a minimum of ₹100 crore in monthly Hundi income, indicating a strong recovery and growing footfall of devotees.

The steady rise in collections post-pandemic showcases the resilience of religious tourism and the unwavering devotion among pilgrims. Increased accessibility, improved temple management, and a surge in spiritual tourism have all contributed to this financial growth. The consistent inflow of donations also plays a crucial role in supporting TTD’s various charitable, religious, and social service activities, including free meals, healthcare, and educational initiatives.

Overall, the ₹1420 crore milestone in Hundi collections for 2025-26 is a testament to both the spiritual significance of Tirumala and the trust devotees continue to place in the institution. With the current trend, TTD is expected to maintain or even surpass these figures in the coming years, further strengthening its financial and social impact.
