Devotees booking online slots for darshan of Sri Venkateswara Swamy at Tirupati faced trouble once again on Tuesday when the monthly quota of ₹300 darshan tickets were released. This is the fourth time that the servers of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) have “frozen” in as many months. Many devotees rue that every time the monthly quota is released slow TTD servers make it difficult to book the online quota.
TTD, which manages the richest Hindu temple in the world, releases the quota for darshan every month. Sources said that TTD’s websites registered 1.1 lakh concurrent hits immediately after the tickets were released on Tuesday morning and the servers couldn’t manage the rush.
P Srikanth Reddy, a devotee from Tirupati who tried to book special entry darshan tickets for his family, told TOI that he kept waiting and refreshing the website for hours on Tuesday, but eventually could not book his tickets.
