Tirumala shrine is flooded with devotees. As devotees flocked to have darshan of Sri Venkateswara Swamy in large numbers, there was a huge rush on the hill. All the compartments in the Vaikuntam Queue Complex were filled with devotees. The queue of devotees waiting for token-free Sarva Darshan reached Krishna Teja Guest House.

TTD officials estimate that it may take about 12 to 13 hours for the devotees in the queue at 8 am this morning to get the Sarva Darshan of the Lord. Also, the special entry darshan of Rs. 300 is taking 3 to 5 hours. Keeping in mind the rush of devotees, TTD staff has made appropriate arrangements by continuously distributing drinking water and food prasad to those waiting in the queue.

A total of 83,806 devotees had darshan of Sri Venkateswara yesterday (Saturday). Of these, 34,449 devotees offered their heads and paid their obeisances to the Lord.
