Tirupati: Vice President-elect M Venkaiah Naidu tonight arrived at Tirumala, the hill abode of Lord Venkateswara, to offer worship.
Temple sources told PTI that after an overnight stay at a TTD guest house on the hills, Naidu would offer worship to Lord Venkateswara at the shrine in the morning.
He arrived by a special flight from Bengaluru at Renigunta airport, 15 km from here and later reached the hills by road.
After offering prayers, the vice president-elect would also participate in some locally arranged programmes in Tirupati and at his native village bordering Nellore district, the sources said.
Naidu, the NDA nominee, was on August 5 elected as India’s next Vice President, receiving an overwhelming two- third votes against opposition candidate Gopalkrishna Gandhi.
