The establishment of this temple is anticipated to have a positive impact on religious and pilgrimage tourism in the Union territory.
With an approximate expenditure of Rs 30 crore, the Tirupati Balaji Temple in Jammu stands as the sixth Balaji temple constructed outside the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has constructed five other Balaji temples in Hyderabad, Chennai, Kanyakumari, Delhi, and Bhubaneswar.
The temple falls on the route between Jammu and Katra, where Mata Vaishno Devi temple is located.
The temple initiated its sacred rituals from June 3, prior to officially opening its doors to pilgrims.
The system and practices followed in Tirumala will be faithfully replicated here as well. (Twitter image - @TheYouthPlus)
