The actor, who along with wife Jaya Bachchan and son Abhishek Bachchan had offered prayers at the temple Dec 28 and 29 following a speedy recovery from an illness, offered to donate the jewelry as thanksgiving.
Bachchan is likely to personally visit the temple again to make the offerings, said A.V. Dharma Reddy, a special officer of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD).
The TTD, which manages the affairs of the hill shrine, has sent specifications for diamond-studded 'abhaya hastham' and 'kati hastham' (wrap for hands) to Bachchan.
Bachchan, 63, who was diagnosed with diverticulitis - an infection of the small intestine, underwent surgery in a Mumbai hospital in December.
The temple, located some 570 km south of Hyderabad, draws about 50,000 devotees a day.
