Traditionally, the premises of the temple of the hugely popular Tirupathi Lord Venkateswara are taken up for cleaning activity in the preceding Tuesday of 4 occasions such as Vaikunta Ekadasi, Yugadhi, Aani (Tamil calendar month) Aasthaanam, and the Annual Brahmotsavam
Accordingly, the festival of Aani week Aasthaanam (Tamil calendar month Aani) for staring new accounting routine is scheduled to commence on 17th July at Tirupathi. So, on the preceding Tuesday on 10th July (Tuesday, tomorrow) as per the tradition, the entire premises of the temple will be taken up for the cleaning activity known as ‘Aazhvar Thirumanjanam’.
Accordingly, the Darshan of the c will be cancelled from 6.00 AM to 11.00 AM tomorrow.
Once the cleaning activity gets completed, the devotees will again be allowed inside for Darshan. TTD (Tirumalai Tirupathi Devasthanam Board) inaugurated a new tonsure centre (Thalaimudi kaanikai) in the HVC section in Tirupathi.
Most of the devotees who visit for a Darshan of the Lord Venkateswara offer their hair as a form of contribution. For the benefit of these devotees, TTD has set up 4 centres for offering the hair.
Even then, on occasions whenever there is a huge additional crowd of devotees, they need to wait for long hours to offer their hair. In order to alleviate this difficulty, TTD has inaugurated a new centre for the offering of hair in the Hill View Cottage (HVC) located near the Garudadhri Nagar Toll gate.
