A devotee from Tamil Nadu Saturday offered a pair of 'Hastham' (forearm) cases made of gold worth Rs 2.5 crore to the hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara at nearby Tirumala, a temple official said.
The devotee hailing from Bodinayakkanur in Tamil Nadu's Theni district with his family members, handed over the offering-"Kati Hastham" and "Varadha Hastham"- to adorn the lower forearms of the main deity to top temple officials.
The devotee had some months taken the measurements of presiding deity's arms in advance and accordingly made the golden forearm cases weighing about six kg and worth about Rs 2.5 crore, the official told PTI.
