Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam chairman YV Subba Reddy announced that the annual Srivari Brahmotsavams this year too will be held in Ekantam keeping in view the health safety of devotees and TTD employees.

Speaking to reporters at Annamaiah Bhavan on September 17 the chairman said the decision was in adherence to new Covid guidelines issued by the Central and State Governments in view of possibility of third wave of Covid likely to happen in October.

He said only 15,000 to 20,000 devotees are being provided Srivari Darshan daily in consonance with Covid regulations like sanitisation, having mask, and maintaining social distancing. He said curbs in Darshan would continue for some more time and temple activities will be restricted till normalcy is restored.

The chairman said due to technical snags the online issue of SSD tokens is being delayed and soon after rectifying the problem, the SSD tokens will soon be issued in online.
