Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will visit the Lord Balaji Temple at Tirumala in Andhra Pradesh on 22 December, the Press Trust of India reported.

Wickremesinghe will arrive in Chennai on 21 December for the visit, officials said, referring to the Sri Lankan Prime Minister’s tentative itinerary.

He will take a chopper from Chennai to reach Tirupati airport (Renigunta) which is about 130 km from Chennai and proceed to the temple by road from there, they said.

Wickremesinghe is set to return to Sri Lanka on the same day after offering prayers at the hill temple, the officials added.

He was in India in October last for an official visit and had last year offered prayers at the Sri Krishna Temple in Guruvayur in Kerala. (Colombo Gazette)
