No change in special entry darshan, laddu rates : TTD

TIRUMALA, June 22: Confirming that there is no change in the price of Rs.300 Special Entry Darshan and Rs.50 Laddu Prasadam of Tirumala temple, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) on Saturday urged devotees not to believe the fake news on social media platforms.
In a clarification to yet another fake news which circulated in a few WhatsApp groups, with the phone numbers of certain people that the devotees can get Rs. 300 special entry darshan (SED)tickets at high prices for darshan in Tirumala.
In a statement, TTD urged the devotees that they have to book tickets only through the official website of TTD, https://ttdevasthanams. ap.gov.in.
It also said some tickets have also been allotted to the tourism departments of various states. Devotees who want to come through tourism have the opportunity to get darshan package tickets directly through the state tourism website instead of approaching Dalaris.
It has come to the notice of the TTD vigilance wing that some brokers are charging huge amounts from innocent people for booking tickets through the tourism website.
TTD warns of stringent action against such brokers who cheat innocent devotees and also appeals to the devotees to book through the official websites of TTD and Tourism only.(UNI)
