Visakhapatnam, July 20

 Less than a day after a Hyderabad-based businessman gifted a golden sword worth Rs 1 crore to the Tirupati deity, another one from the Telangana capital donated silver steps to Rajasyamala temple in Andhra Pradesh's port city of Visakhapatnam.

G. Suresh Kumar Reddy, a businessman from Hyderabad, handed over the silver steps, weighing 28 kg, as part of a vow he had made to the deity, Visakha Sri Sarada Peetham temple officials said on Tuesday.

"He vowed that he would gift silver steps to Rajasyamala deity if he makes good profits in his business ventures," said a temple official.

These steps were fixed in the temple on Tuesday morning.

Visakha Sri Sarada Peetham is headed by Swaroopanandendra Saraswati Swamy and Swatmanandendra Saraswati Swamy.
