TTD Makes 20 Per Cent Additional Arrangements for Navaratri Brahmotsavams
Addressing a media conference at the Media Centre in Ram Bagicha-2, Tirumala, he said all four Mada Streets surrounding the temple had been systematically organised, with colourful rangolis and decorative arrangements.
New stainless steel railings had been installed at Srivari Pushkarini, while 120 additional mobile toilets had been provided to meet the needs of the increased devotee turnout.
A foot overbridge near Nandakam Rest House had also eased traffic movement, he said.
Planned parking facilities at various locations in Tirupati had enabled devotees to park their vehicles conveniently and travel to Tirumala by bus, thereby helping reduce traffic congestion in the hill town.
TTD Electrical Superintending Engineer Venkateswarlu said elaborate electrical illuminations had been arranged across Tirumala. LED screens had also been installed at various locations in Tirumala and Tirupati to enable devotees to watch the vahana sevas.
Superintending Engineer-2 Venugopal said engineering arrangements were being completed promptly to prevent inconvenience to devotees.
Electrical Deputy Executive Engineer Chandrasekhar said special illuminations depicting Srinivasa Kalyanam, Rama Pattabhishekam and scenes representing the four yugas, installed opposite the temple, had received widespread appreciation.
Electrical staff had worked for three months to complete the decorative lighting arrangements, he added.
Executive Engineer-1 Srinivasa Rao said the exit points along the Mada Streets had been widened to facilitate the smooth movement of devotees after the vahana sevas.
TTD Chief Public Relations Officer Dr T. Ravi, Executive Engineer Sudhakar and other officials attended the media conference.
