TTD to Modernize Tirumala's Kalyana Katta Complexes
The people in charge of the Tirumala temple are going to make the places where people get their heads shaved (Kalyana Kattas) better.
These places are old and can't handle all the people.
They will improve things like cleanliness, how people move around, and safety.
They will try a new plan in one place first, and if it works, they'll use it everywhere.
The goal is to make it easier for people who are visiting the temple and getting their heads shaved as part of their devotion.
TTD plans to modernize Kalyana Katta complexes in Tirumala.
The decision addresses complaints about congestion and limited amenities.
The modernization aims to improve sanitation, crowd flow, and safety.
Increased pilgrim footfalls have put pressure on existing facilities.
A pilot project will be implemented before extending upgrades to all complexes.
