Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister designate Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday offered prayers at the Lord Venkateswara temple at Tirumala here.
Clad in traditional dress and sporting 'thirunamam' on his forehead, the YSR Congress Party chief prayed in the temple and took blessings from the priests.
Jagan Mohan Reddy, who will take oath as the Chief Minister on Thursday, was accompanied by party leaders Vijay Sai Reddy, R.K. Roja, B. Karunakar Reddy, Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy and others.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Executive Officer A.K. Singhal and other officials welcomed Jagan Mohan Reddy, who participated in various rituals conducted by top priests.
Jagan, as the young leader is popularly known, made offerings in 'Hundi' and received 'prasadam'.
The YSRCP stormed to power last week, bagging 151 seats in 175-member Assembly.
