It's refreshing to see political leaders engage with cultural traditions. I moved to Delhi last year and have visited this temple - it beautifully recreates the Tirupati experience. Jyothi for all! 🪔

Great to see the CM promoting inter-state unity through festivals. However, I wish she'd also address more pressing issues like Delhi's pollution and traffic management. Balance necessary hai.

As someone from Tirupati originally, this brings a tear to my eye. The temple in Delhi is exactly like the original - TTD has done an amazing job. Rekha ji's darshan during Brahmotsavam is especially auspicious. Best wishes to all devotees! 🌸

'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat' is more than a slogan when you see this in action. But let's be honest - why are our leaders spending time on temple visits when Delhi's streets are flooding every monsoon? Government should focus on basics too.
