Nita Ambani, wife of prominent businessman Mukesh Ambani, today donated Rs 1 crore to the renown Balkampet Yellamma temple in Hyderabad.
The donation was directly transferred to the temple's bank account.
In April, Nita's mother Purnima and sister Mamata had visited the temple. During their visit, temple officials briefed them on the temple's significance and requested support for its development. Purnima conveyed this request to Nita Ambani, who responded positively by donating Rs 1 crore for the temple's development.
The temple committee said that the donated amount would be placed in a fixed deposit, and the interest earned would be used to fund the Nityannadanam (daily free meal) program.
The temple authorities expressed their gratitude to Ambani and her family for the generous contribution.
For the unversed, Nita Ambani is said to be a devotee of Balkampet Yellamma, and visits the temple whenever she is in the city.
