Tirumala temple will have the world's first gold pendant ATM!
Till now you have been withdrawing only notes from ATMs. But soon you will also be able to get gold and silver pendants from ATMs. tirumala tirupati Devasthanams is going to start the world's first gold and silver pendant ATM in tirumala temple. Pendants with pictures of Lord Venkateswara and Goddess lakshmi can be purchased from these ATM machines, due to which faith can be connected with technology.
On the initiative of tirumala tirupati Devasthanam's Executive Officer J Shyamala Rao, wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital transformation is being carried out in tirumala temple, Govindaraja temple in tirupati and Padmavati Ammavari temple in Tiruchanur. J Shyamala Rao told The New indian Express that the software for this ATM machine has been designed so that one can operate this ATM and obtain gold and silver pendants in one or two more steps than a cash ATM. However, he clarified that the project will move forward only if it ensures adherence to the temple traditions along with the holy scriptures and Agamas.
Unlike the commercial gold ATMs in the UAE, the gold and silver pendant ATM has an AI-enabled interface similar to the banking ATMs, which requires minimal additional steps. tirumala tirupati Devasthanam is actively engaging with software firms and AI startups to finalise the technology. Several companies are planning to submit proposals and demonstrate machine prototypes. The gold and silver pendant ATMs will provide pendants in 2 gram, 5 gram, and 10 gram variants. The purchase will be executed without human intervention.
tirumala tirupati Devasthanam already has a donation kiosk running which has been a huge success. It allows devotees to contribute via UPI, debit or credit cards. These kiosks are operational at the Annaprasadam canteen, Vakaula Matha temple and Tiruchanur temple and plans are underway to expand it further.
