Recently the temple included ‘Annadanam’, protocol darshanam and ‘Vastra samarpana’ among its online services. Thus all the services at the devasthanam have been digitalised, informed the temple executive officer L Rama Devi.

In the past printed tickets for ‘Annadanam’ used to be distributed to the devotees from 10.30 am to 11.30 am at the temple. This often led to inconvenience to the devotees. Now from 9.30 am to 1 pm the devotees are photographed and given tokens.

For protocol darshanam tokens are being given to the devotees after register their details online in the office. Similarly, for presenting clothes to the presiding deities at the temple, the clothes are being digitalised through barcoding to track and manage them properly.

The digitalisation of the temple services would help to avoid any malpractices as well as helps the devotees make use of them with ease, the executive officer said. She further informed that developmental works worth Rs 1.30 crore have been taken up for Vaikunta Ekadasi celebrations that would be organised at the temple from this December 31 to January 20, 2025.
