TTD toying with the idea of two-tier darshan system – The Hindu
Management comes up with proposal to facilitate hassle-free darshan to theever-increasing devotees
After evaluating several alternatives to deal with theever increasing crowd thronging the temple of Lord Venkateswara, the TirumalaTirupati Devasthanams (TTD) seems to have at last stumbled upon an appropriateoption – ‘Two-tier darshan’ system.
Concerned over complaints that the visiting devotees are being mercilessly pushed and shoved inside the hill temple, the management has been exploring several solutions for the perpetual crisis when the TTD’s Executive Officer M.G. Gopal came up with the innovative idea of introducingthe multi-tier darshan system. Even though the viability of the new conceptremains to be established, it is being seen as a suitable alternative at least for the time being. Simultaneously, the management has been experimenting with the idea for the past few days to ascertain its efficacy.
According to the new application, devotees will be allowed in two lines for darshan from the silver gate (Vendi Vakili) into the sanctum sanctorum through the Bangaru Vakili. While one row of devotees will beallowed to walk on the high-rise wooden ramps speciallydesigned to suit the purpose, the second row of devotees will be allowed to pass through the floor.
