Dear Sir,

All the members in my family and me are ardent devotees of Lord Srinivasa as he is our family deity. We keep visiting Tirumala once every 2 to 3 months and we really appreciate the efforts TTD has taken for the convenience and comfort of pilgrims.

I, However, would like to express my dissatisfaction over certain things that need your kind attention. First of all, In Bangalore, there is only one TTD booking centre whereas the city is huge and quite populated as you might be aware. This is creating a lot of rush in the centre with only one single counter operating. As every person in the family including young and old alike, has to give thumb impression for the darshan, the process is very time-consuming thereby adding to the inconvenience of the devotees. We request you to kindly open one more TTD Centre in the South of Bangalore (For example, Basavanagudi, Jayanagar or Banashankari) so that all the devotees staying in Bangalore south, southwest and West can avail the opportunity to utilise the same thereby reducing travel time and waiting time.

Secondly, the queue system is very organised and controlled but only till we reach VENDIVAAKILI. After that, there is a lot of chaos and everybody pushes each other where aged people and small children cannot cope with this rush. Hence, we request you to man the queue till we reach BANGAARUVAKILI so that the queue is organised and moves systematically till we have darshan of the Lord.

Thirdly, most of the people come from far off places just to have a glimpse of the lord. Due to reasons best known to TTD, now, only MAHALAGHU DARSHANAM has been introduced thereby creating disappointment to many devotees. Last time, I had been to ARCHANA ANANTHARA DARSHANAM but was very disappointed since we were sent back from DWARAPALAKA door itself. Hence, I request you to kindly give this a thought and implement good darshan of the lord so that every pilgrim goes more fulfilled. This, I think, is possible if you regulate the queue and allow the people one by one quickly in the queue instead of everyone rushing at the same time.

Fourthly, request you to kindly introduce bookings for KALYANOTSAVAMS, THOMALA SEVA and other big sevas in the TTD Centre in Bangalore so that we will have the opportunity to avail the same.

Request you to kindly give it a thought again and do the needful in helping the pilgrims go one more step nearer to the lord.

Thanking you,

Expecting your response, I remain,

Yours truly,
