TTD has modernized and given a new look to SV Rest House and Narayanagiri Rest House at Tirumala and revised the rentals accordingly to suit the needs of the pilgrim devotees.

The rents of these rest houses were almost three decades old. However, upon the suggestions and feedback by devotees ACs, Geysers, wooden cots and modern furniture were included and room tariffs have been rationalized suitably.

TTD reiterated that it was wrong for a section of media to report that room rents in these rest houses have been hiked inordinately and appealed to devotees to make note of facts.

Sri Andal Neeratotsavam festivities commenced in Sri Govinda Raja Swamy temple on Saturday in Tirupati.

This will conclude on January 13. This festival is being observed every year to commemorate the occasion of Andal appeasing the Lord through Her penance.

The unique festival of Pranaya Kalahotsavam was held with utmost religious fervor in Tirumala on Saturday.

In this fete, Sri Malayappa Swamy on a special palanquin and Sridevi and Bhudevi on other palanquins were brought facing each other.

The Goddesses throw floral balls on Lord and the Lord tries to escape from the floral shots and seeks apologies to Goddesses. During this time the Acharya Purushas recite Pasurams in “Nindastuti” style and later with the Goddesses getting pacified, all the three return to the temple.

This Love Game enthralled devotees who assembled on the Galleries of East Mada Street facing Pushkarini.

The entire interesting episode will be enacted with Jeeyangars taking the side of Goddesses and some TTD officials on the side of Lord.
