Devotees visiting Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams are facing heavy rush as Tirumala darshan waiting time has increased sharply. Officials said all compartments at the Vaikuntham Queue Complex are full due to the large number of pilgrims arriving for Srivari darshan.
The Tirumala darshan waiting time has now crossed 24 hours for free darshan devotees. Thousands of pilgrims continued to arrive at the hill shrine from different states. TTD authorities advised devotees to plan their journey carefully and cooperate with temple staff during crowd management.
Officials also stated that devotees without special entry tickets may need to wait for more than a day for the darshan of Lord Venkateswara. Meanwhile, facilities like drinking water, food, and medical services are being provided for pilgrims waiting in queues.
TTD expects the rush to continue for the next few days because of holidays and special devotional activities at the temple.
