The TTD has cancelled all ‘Arjitha sevas’ at the hill temple of Lord Venkateswara on February 14 owing to the annual ‘Ratha Sapthami’.
Reviewing arrangements for the mega event, also known as ‘Surya Jayanthi’, TTD Executive Officer Dr. D. Sambasiva Rao on Tuesday directed officials to work in tandem.
“Pilgrim turnout will be at its zenith on the day, as the deity will be taken out in a procession on seven different ‘Vahanams’ (carriers) on a single day,” he said.
The decision is in view of the annual ‘Ratha Sapthami’
