TSRTC officials said the buses will take the devotees to the Arunachalam temple four hours prior to the starting of the Giri Pradikshina. The tickets will be made available for citizens at least ten days in advance.

These special buses will depart from Hyderabad as well as district and after visiting the Vinayaka Temple in Kanipakam in Chittoor of Andhra Pradesh, will reach Arunachalam temple. Again after the Giri Pradikshina, the bus will leave for Golden Temple in Vellore in Tamil Nadu the same day evening and return to Telangana.

“The special buses which were arranged for the first time on the occasion of Guru Pournami, got an unexpected response from the devotees. First a super luxury bus was arranged. Within minutes all the seats were booked. Due to this, the services have been increased depending on the passenger traffic,” said Bajireddy Govardhan, Chairman, TSRTC.

TSRTC Managing Director VC Sajjanar, said, “We are also ready to run air-conditioned special buses if required by the devotees.”
