The Hindu
‘Hundi’ netted an all-time low of ₹62 lakh on April 29
The temple of Lord Venkateswara has been registering thin crowds since the second week of April. The pilgrim turnout, which was about 50,000 a day till the first half of April, plummeted to a little over 20,000 later following the suspension of ‘Sarvadarshanam’ from April 12 to curb the spread of the second wave of COVID-19. As per statistics, the temple had registered footfalls exceeding 20,000 only on five days in the last fortnight. On the remaining days, the pilgrim rush stood well below that mark. The footfalls fell drastically to 9,640 on April 29 and 6,431 on April 30.More Related News
