TTD plans only ‘sarvadarsan’ on Jan. 1

The TTD is seriously contemplating dispensing with the advance reservation of all kinds of darsan tickets on January 1st as the day coincides with the auspicious 'Vaikunta Ekadasi' festival.

Anchoring the monthly Dial TTD EO programme the Executive Officer M.G. Gopal on Friday categorically made it clear that the management is considering the option of implementing only ‘sarva darsan’ on the exceptional day as the influx in the pilgrim crowd will be at its zenith.

Fielding a volley of questions Mr. Gopal also said maintaining the sanctity of the town was on the top of the TTD’s agenda and termed the evangelic provocations as the handiwork of some reprobates. The management on its part also has taken up the issue on a serious note and is exploring various options including the purchase of precocious internet gadgets to contain the on-line mischief that hurts sentiments of multitude of followers of Lord Venkateswara spread all across the globe. 

He appealed to the devotees to participate in large numbers in the annual Padmavathi Ammavari Brahmotsavams at Tiruchanoor scheduled to be held from Nov. 19 to 27.
