Heavy Devotee Rush Continues in Tirumala

A heavy rush of devotees continues in Tirumala, with the crowd expected to increase further due to the Purattasi month and a series of holidays. In view of the anticipated rush, TTD has cancelled VIP Break Darshan on October 1 and 5, except for protocol dignitaries. The decision has been taken to facilitate faster darshan for ordinary devotees.

TTD said around 80,000 ordinary devotees are being provided darshan every day, while another 30,000 devotees may remain in waiting by the end of the day due to the rush. Recommendation letters will not be accepted on September 30 and October 4. TTD has appealed to devotees to cooperate with the measures aimed at providing quicker darshan to a larger number of ordinary pilgrims.
