Tirupati has been witnessing a high influx of devotees over the past three days, in view of the annual Brahmotsavams currently under way at Tirumala hills. The railway station and the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) central bus station are overflowing with passengers and scores of guest houses, cottages and choultries in the city are overbooked.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has made elaborate lighting arrangements across the temple city, especially in the buildings owned by it.
The Garuda statue at Alipiri, considered the foot of Tirumala hills, has been tastefully decorated and illuminated. Similarly, the security post/toll plaza at Alipiri wears a festive look.
The parking lot at the foot of the hills, meant for long distance travellers coming by personal vehicles is abuzz with vehicles.
