The rapid surge in the increase of COVID-19 infections across the country had its ‘echo’ felt at the temple of Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala with the TTD further tightening restrictions in the darshan of the presiding deity. Unmindful of the adverse impact the restrictions shall have on the hundi income, the TTD slashed the issuance of sarva darshan tokens to 15,000 from 30,000 a day during the last week of March and further imposed a complete ban on its issuance from April 12 . The hundi income which hovered around ₹3 crore a day till recently is now vacillating around ₹2 crore after the enforcement of the limitations.More Related News
