In a heartfelt display of devotion, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis arrived at the Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala today to offer prayers. Known for his strong spiritual connection, Fadnavis was seen visiting the revered temple, which is one of the most significant pilgrimage destinations in India. Details of the visit remain to be disclosed. 

Fadnavis visit comes exactly a month after a major blaze  erupted at the Tirumala laddu prasadam counter in Andhra Pradesh, alarming devotees who were queuing for the sacred sweetmeat. The incident, which took place at Counter Number 47, is thought to have been triggered by a short circuit in the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system associated with the computer setup.

In a state of panic, devotees at Tirumala Tirupati temple hurriedly vacated the area as the flames spread. Fortunately, staff members acted swiftly and managed to extinguish the fire before it could inflict serious damage. Further updates regarding the situation are anticipated.
