It will benefit thousands of people heading to Tirumala by ‘padayatra’ from Chennai
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams will construct resting facilities for devotees heading from Chennai to Tirumala at three or four locations, its chairman Y.V. Subba Reddy has said.
He said thousands of devotees were heading to Tirumala by ‘padayatra’ all through the year and the TTD felt it was essential to provide ‘mandapams’ with basic amenities to enable them to halt to refresh, cook food and rest en route.
Mr. Subba Reddy made this announcement at the swearing-in ceremony of A.J. Sekhar, who was re-nominated to the post of Local Area President, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, TTD, here on Monday.
