The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will open its doors to devotees from June 8th after a gap of nearly 75 days. This is done on a trial basis with precautionary measures.

The decision to reopen the Tirupati temple doors to devotees comes after a review meeting was chaired by TTD Executive Officer Anil Kumar Singhal and Dharma Reddy. The movement of devotees, transport, accommodation, Laddu prasadams, sanitization and other issues were discussed. Meanwhile, the three-day-long Jyeshta Abishekam celebrations are underway at Tirupati.
