TIRUPATI: As heavy pilgrim influx is anticipated between August 11 and 15 due to holidays, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has appealed to pilgrims to co-operate with it  and plan their darshan and accommodation in advance.

Though the summer rush has receded, more number of devotees are expected to visit the temple due to the festivals and weekend till August 19. Moreover, the auspicious month of ‘Peratasi’ is also commencing from September 18 and will last till October 17.

They should come with preparedness to wait for long hours in the compartments and queue lines till their turn for Darshan, it said.
