Elaborate arrangements were made for 80,000 devotees to visit Venkateswara temple in connection with the Vaikunta Dwara Darshan. TTD officials arranged nine centres in Tirupati to issue the tickets, ETV Bharat said in its report. Almost 25,000 people were allowed the ‘darshan’ through special entrance gates.
