For the first time in its history, the administration of Sri Lakshminarasimha Swamy Temple, Yadagirigutta, has introduced break darshan for visiting VIP devotees on weekends from Sunday onwards.
Devotees have to purchase Rs. 250 ticket to avail darshan. However, there would be no queue line for these devotees since the temple staff will make them sit at Andal Nilayam and will take them for darshan in a group of around 50 members at a time for every half-an-hour or one hour, depending on the influx of devotees.
However, the temple administration clarified that it will not issue these tickets to ordinary devotees except those who come with letters of MPs, Ministers and officials. Apart from that, the temple administration has also decided to cancel Rs. 50 darshan ticket on weekends to restrict the queue lines to just two, apart from break darshan. Besides Dharmadarashan, there would be only Rs. 150 ticket queue line on the weekends .Until Saturday, there used to be three queue lines on weekends -- Dharmadarashan, Rs. 50 and Rs. 150. The temple administration will continue with these two tickets on regular weekdays apart from break darshan. Temple EO N. Geetha said that the decision was taken to streamline darshan process.
