Time slots for Srikalahasti VIPs
VIPs will have to come to the temple between 11.30 am to 1 pm
SriKalahasti: Come April, VIPs arriving at the world-renowned Srikalahasti temple in Chittoor district, will have to abide by the time slots specified by Srikalahasti Devasthanams for the darshan of Lord Srikalahastheeswara and goddess Gnana Prasoonambika.
A decision to this effect was taken to ensure that both the VIPs as well as the general public get equal time inside the temple. In the present system, the public has to wait for long hours while, VIPs are led straight to the sanctum sanctorum throughout the day. This has been the reason for public’s resentment. Y. Ramachandra Reddy, executive officer of the Srikalahasti De-vasthanams set a slot of 11.30 am to 1 pm for VIP visit. They will also have to pay '200. Ekanta Seva, free till date, will charge '100 from April 1.
