Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam (TTD) will open for the lord’s Darshan only after May 3. The poojas are going on as ti is as per the tradition. But pilgrims are not allowed.
The animals from the forests of Tirumala are now coming on to the roads as there are no people and vehicular movement here. It is like a deserted place and the animals like deer, cheetahs and Tigers are seen.
When these animals were spotted, the forest officers used to drive them away due to security reasons for the pilgrims. But now due to Corona, they are moving around freely.
The priests, on the other hand, are performing regular pooja to the Lord Srivenkateshwara Here as per tradition. Perhaps this is for the time in the history of the TTD that the Lord is along for so many days without pilgrims.
Otherwise, with a few hours of a break for the changeover, the pilgrims were visiting the TTD 24/7. We can say that the Lord Balaji is also under quarantine.
This is the right time for the TTD to do some repairs in and around the Sanctum Sanctorum as there are no pilgrims and the Temple premises is relatively free.
