Speaking on the occasion the Additional EO Sri Ch Venkaiah Chowdary said every year the annual Pushpayagam is observed in a grand manner in Tirumala. To waive off the sins committed either knowingly or unknowingly by the temple staff as well the pilgrims, the Pushpayagam is performed.

Nine tonnes of 17 varieties of flowers, six types of leaves were donated by donors which includes five tonnes from TN and two tonnes each from AP and Karnataka, he added.
