The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, following the government’s consent to revive pilgrim worship at the Lord Venkateswara temple, has decided to conduct a trial run with TTD employees and Tirumala locals on June 8.
Special Chief Secretary, Revenue (Endowments) JSV Prasad gave the orders following a request made by TTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal for conducting a trial run for TTD employees and local residents of Tirumala.
“After three days, we will review the situation and decide on allowing devotees from other places for darshan. Devotees have to make their darshan tickets booking online and must stick to strict guidelines of self-hygiene and social distancing norms during their pilgrimage. Bathing at Srivari Pushkarini temple tank will remain suspended,” he said.
