The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams reported a record sale of 1.21 crore Srivari Laddu prasadam during May 2026 [1].
This surge reflects the growing number of pilgrims visiting the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple in Andhra Pradesh. The Srivari Laddu is a central spiritual and cultural element of the pilgrimage experience, and these figures underscore the scale of the temple's logistical operations.
Revenue from these sales hit a record high of approximately Rs 1.2 crore in May [2]. To meet this demand, the temple's production facilities operate at a massive scale, preparing over 4 lakh laddus every day [2].
The daily production requires a significant amount of raw materials. In total, 68 tonnes of ingredients are used per day [2]. This includes 32 tonnes of sugar, and 16 tonnes of gram flour [2].
Additional ingredients include 16 tonnes of ghee, 3.5 tonnes of cashew nuts, and two tonnes of raisins used daily [2]. The consistent demand for the prasadam remains a primary driver of the temple's daily activity, highlighting the intersection of faith and large-scale food production in India.

The record-breaking sales and production figures demonstrate the increasing scale of religious tourism at the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple. The ability to process nearly 70 tonnes of raw materials daily to produce hundreds of thousands of units of prasadam highlights a sophisticated industrial-scale operation managed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to sustain one of the world's most visited pilgrimage sites.
