TTD Begins Trial Run Of Darshan Card System At Tirumala  

Tirupati: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams that administers the famous Lord Venkateswara shrine began a trial run of a new 'darshan system' to provide respite to devotees standing in queue for hours to offer prayers.

Under the "Time slotted sarva darshan" system, devotees will get a computerised darshan access card which will mention the time at which they can have darshan of the presiding deity through a special entry at the queue complex.

The trial run of the system would last a week before its full-fledged implementation by the TTD in the months to come. The TTD, on Monday, allotted 21,000 cards under the new system. About 10,000 devotees have availed of the facility after producing their Aadhaar card, she added.
