The Temple Chairman said that there would be a special convention on August 11th and made it clear that this nine days did not allow devotees to climb the hill. The devotees expressed their anguish over the decision of TTD as they won’t get to visit the temple for nine days.

The decision of the governing council to stop Lord Venkateswara darshan for nine days was taken keeping in view of the allegations made by the former Chief Principal Ramana regarding the missing ornaments from the temple.
