Naidu arrived here with his family members last evening on a two-day spiritual visit and stayed at a heavily guarded Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) guest house on the hills.
On his arrival at the shrine at the crack of dawn, he was accorded a warm welcome. He spent about half an hour in the shrine, temple sources told PTI.
After offering prayers, the vice president was honoured with a sacred silk cloth and ‘prasadam’ by the management of the shrine.
Later, talking to reporters, he said Lord Venkateswarawas his family deity and thus he was named after the Lord.
