Karnataka Devotee's Praise for Tirumala Improvements Goes Viral, Minister Lokesh Responds

A heartfelt tweet by a Karnataka devotee, known online as "Kencha," detailing his recent visit to the Tirumala temple has sparked widespread attention on social media. The post lauded significant improvements in the temple's facilities, cleanliness, and services, drawing a response from Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh.

The devotee highlighted noticeable changes during his visit, such as cleaner roads and restrooms, better queue management for Srivari darshan, and an upgrade in the quality of Annaprasadam. He reserved special praise for the iconic Tirupati laddu, noting its enhanced taste, longer freshness, and consistent availability, a significant improvement over previous shortages. This allowed him to share the laddus with family and friends, which he described as a heartening experience.

While commending the progress, the devotee also suggested areas for further enhancement, including increasing free bus services to reduce crowding, shortening the advance booking period for Sudarshan Darshan slots, and improving accommodation facilities for the growing number of pilgrims.

Responding to the viral post, Minister Lokesh expressed gratitude for the positive feedback, attributing the improvements to Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's leadership. He assured that the devotee’s suggestions would be considered and promised additional upgrades to ensure an even better experience for pilgrims in the future.
