Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Wednesday visited Tirumala and offered prayers to God at Venkateswara Temple with his family.
Police had made tight security plans to keep any untoward occurrence, as a percentage of the Political Parties from Tamil Nadu state are hostile to the president because of ethnic Tamil issues in Sri Lanka.
Rajapaksa was in the temple for about 60 minutes, partaking in the “Suprabhata Seva”.
