The

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD)

will construct a

Srivari temple in Guwahati

, following the

Assam government's decision to allocate five acres of land

for the project. The initiative marks a significant step in expanding the

spiritual footprint of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy

in the northeastern region of India. The assurance came during a meeting between

TTD chairperson B.R. Naidu

and

Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma

, who extended full support for the proposed temple. “The Srivari temple will be a

magnificent spiritual centre

that promotes Hindu dharma, culture, and traditions,” the Chief Minister said, adding that the project will enhance

religious harmony and cultural unity

in the region. Highlighting

Assam's rich spiritual heritage

, Sarma cited the

Kamakhya Devi temple

as a powerful example of regional devotion and expressed confidence that the upcoming Srivari temple would become a

beacon of faith and unity

for devotees across the Northeast. The temple will be developed under the aegis of TTD, which will

collaborate with state authorities

for finalising designs, construction logistics, and management infrastructure. Officials stated that the temple will

adhere to traditional TTD architectural, ritual, and administrative norms

, while also incorporating elements respectful of Assam’s cultural identity. The proposed temple in Guwahati is part of TTD’s

larger expansion plan

, as endorsed by the board in

December 2024

, which includes

national and international outreach

. In

March 2025

, the TTD formally reached out to state governments across India seeking

at least 10 acres

of land in state capitals for building new Srivari temples. The initiative also aims to

boost temple tourism and regional development

. A

₹5,258 crore corpus

has been earmarked for the expansion initiative, including international temple construction, managed by a

dedicated trust

. In

July 2025

, a sub-committee was formed to assess the

feasibility of temple construction in various countries

, based on prior expert evaluations. The Guwahati temple will serve as a

major spiritual and cultural destination

for millions of devotees in the Northeast who may not have had easy access to TTD temples in southern India. It is expected to strengthen

inter-regional religious ties

and serve as a catalyst for

spiritual tourism, employment, and cultural engagement

in the state.
