Under this scheme, two hundred devotees are fed daily at midday (12:15 PM).  This scheme has been well received by the devotees and public at large.

 

The scheme is being implemented with the donations being received from
the philanthropists and the general public since its inception. In

The noble act of feeding the devotees at midday in this holiest of the holies will confer immense benefits.  It is also an act of great religious merit.

feeding of the devotees every year on the day or days indicated by the
donor by utilizing the interest proceeds. Donations made under this
scheme are eligible for exemption under section 80-G of the Income-Tax

We look forward to your immediate response to this appeal.
