Tirupati Balaji Temple to reduce waiting time for darshan : Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board
Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh) – The newly constituted board of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams has decided to remove non-Hindus working with the administration and would surrender them to the Andhra Pradesh government, for appropriate action. The board has also decided to use artificial intelligence to cut down waiting time for darshan at the Tirupati Balaji temple. With this technology, the waiting time for darshan will be reduced from 20 hours to 2-3 hours, informed Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) Board President B.R. Naidu. Many important decisions were taken in the board meeting.
Will tell the government not to appoint non-Hindus
Addressing presspersons, B.R. Naidu, the new chairman of the board said, “TTD will assess the total number of non-Hindus working in the temple administration in various capacities and surrender them to the government. We shall write to the state government to take an appropriate decision about the non-Hindus working in Tirumala. The TTD is a Hindu religious institution and the board felt that it should not employ non-Hindus to work in the temple,” as per the reports.
Ban on making political statements
Naidu further said that the board also decided that people associated with the temple will not make any political statements at Tirumala. If anyone does so, legal action will be taken against them.
