The CM of Maharastra Eknath Shinde commenced his conference chanting “Venkatramana Govinda”. Today is a very memorable day for our Maharashtra, as the replica of Tirupathi Balaji mandir is being constructed in Navi Mumbai soon. Not everybody is fortunate enough to visit Balaji in Tirumala. So the upcoming temple will resolve this longing desire of the people of Maharastra to have darshan of Sri Balaji Venkateswara in Mumbai itself”.
Adding further he said, “One more thing is that the 22km longest single bridge of Mumbai Trans harbour link which is coming up shortly is getting connected to Mahalakshmi temple. All these works are taking place with the blessings of Lord Venkateswar.
We extend our complete cooperation on behalf of the Government of Maharastra towards the speedy completion of the Balaji temple in Navi Mumbai. I would like to thank TTD Trust Board Chairman, members, officials, Donor, our officials and everyone who have been associated with this divine task”, he maintained.
YV Subba Reddy, the Chairman of TTD Trust Board said, On this occasion, I would like to extend my special thanks to the Honourable Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Sri Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy who has advised us to construct a massive temple of Lord Balaji akin to Tirumala temple as it is a longing desire of the people of Maharastra. The temple plan is ready and the CMD of Raymond Group Sri Gautam Hari Singhania has come forward to donate Rs.60-75cr towards the construction of the temple on donation.
Besides the temple, Pushkarini for holy dip, Alankara Mandapam (Ritual Hall), Ratha Mandapam, Vahana Mandapam and Four Mada Streets encircling the shrine would also be constructed similar to Tirumala. The entire structure will be built with stone sculpture.
This temple will become a reality in Navi Mumbai in less than two years. I thank the Honourable CM Sri Eknath Shinde ji and Deputy CM Sri Devernder Fadnavis ji, the donor Sri Singhania ji and former minister Sri Aditya Thackeray who took the initiative in the allotment of land towards the construction of Sri Balaji temple in Navi Mumbai, he added.
