The state government of Andhra has decided to serve the devotees visiting the Tirupathi temple free breakfasts.
As per this new scheme, devotees will be served free breakfast (Pongal or Uppuma with chutney) between 9.00 AM to 11.00 AM every morning.
Meals will be served after 11.00 AM. The officials informed that the scheme will be implemented shortly.
The state government of Andhra has come forward to serve the devotees visiting the Tirupathi temple just as is being done by the state governments offering assistance for the Muslims who undertake the Haj pilgrimage.
With 1000 devotees per district in the 13 districts of Andhra, the scheme would offer a trip to Tirupathi for 13000 devotees. This scheme has been named Divya Darshan Scheme.
The state minister for endowments, Manikkalarao informed this news.
Whether the expenses for this scheme would be borne by TTD (Tiumalai Tirupathi Devasthanam) or by the state government is yet to be decided. Once this decision is made, the scheme would be implemented.
