the Endowments Department.
Stone and panchaloha vigrahams of other
deities are supplied by TTD at a subsidy of 50%. TTD also supplies

Sri Padmavathi Ammavari temple, Tiruchanoor. These seshavasthrams
are also supplied to temples. An application for the seshavasthrams
should be made by the concerned temple authorities and is
to be routed through the State Endowments Department . Alternatively,
any sitting member of the TTD Trust Board can recommend the supply
