Record Number of Devotees Visit Tirumala on Friday
Lots of people visited Tirumala temple, especially during the summer when schools are closed.
Usually, fewer people get to see the deity on Fridays because of special religious activities.
But this year, the temple officials worked together to help more people have darshan.
On several Fridays in May and June, more devotees than usual were able to visit.
The highest number of people on a Friday this summer was on June 13, when a record number of people went to see the deity.
Tirumala saw a surge in devotees, especially during summer.
Fridays usually have fewer darshan hours, typically accommodating 60,000-65,000 devotees.
TTD officials coordinated to accommodate more devotees on Fridays.
Devotee numbers on Fridays in May and June exceeded usual levels.
June 13 saw a record of 75,096 devotees, the season's highest Friday count.
