“Whether darshan, accommodation, tonsuring or providing of laddus, the management has brought in a slew of changes last month, the effects of which can be shortly felt,” said the TTD Executive Officer D. Sambasiva Rao.
Darshan line
Fielding a volley of questions during the monthly ‘Dial TTD EO’ programme here on Friday from the callers of different States, Dr. Rao said that the management which had succeeded in its efforts in eradicating the graft menace at Kalyanakatta also shall focus on regulating the darshan lines inside the temple, particularly at the Vendi Vakili colligation - a perennial complaint to which no solution had been found.
Besides introducing the online subscription of its monthly Sapthagiri magazine, the management is also exploring the possibilities of telecasting its spiritual programmes in Hindi for the benefit of devotees.
