Tirumala is witnessing a heavy rush of devotees amid holidays and the Peratasi month. Queues stretched for about five kilometres on Saturday, while devotees faced afternoon heat. The waiting time for all-day darshan was around 18 hours, officials said
TTD has cancelled VIP Break Darshan on October 1 and October 5 due to the expected surge in devotees during the Purattasi month and holiday period. The move is aimed at reducing waiting times and facilitating quicker darshan for common pilgrims.
