TTD Unveils Plans for Tirupati Airport and Alipiri Arch Makeover
Imagine the airport and the entrance to the Tirumala temple getting a makeover!
The TTD wants to make the Tirupati airport look more like the temple, maybe even renaming it to show how important Lord Venkateswara is.
The Alipiri arch, where people start their journey, will be rebuilt to look like a grand temple hall and last for hundreds of years.
They will also make the path to the temple better with rest spots, plants, and stories about Lord Venkateswara.
TTD plans to redesign Tirupati airport and Alipiri arch.
The project aims to incorporate temple-inspired aesthetics.

Upgrades are planned for the Alipiri footpath, including rest areas and art displays.
