Om Namo Srinivasaya Namah

Hi good morning dear devotees of Lord Sri Venkateshwara Swamy. Welcome to Tirumala Tirupati updates. The rush at Tirumala today is moderate. The temperature is also high.  Devotees were waiting for seeking Lord's darshan in as many as eight compartments.

For sarva darshanam (free darshan), it's taking around four hours, for special entry darshan it's taking two hours and to those who take pedestrian route to Tirumala it's taking one hour through divya darshanam queue line. Nearly 50,000 devotees sought Lord's blessings yesterday.

On the eve of Ugadi tomorrow, arrangements are in place to celebrate the festival with much pomp and geity. For Telugus and Kannadigas, tomorrow is the new years' day. After special sevas such as Suprabhatam and Thomala, Tirumanjanam would be conducted on Sri Malayappa Swamy.
