[Resolved]  Service — display of free ticket board on padayatra/Demand of dakishane by poojaries in Tirupati and tirumala.

Address: Andhra Pradesh

Hi,

I recently visited Lord Ventakeshwara , and it was a 3 days visit 11/4/10,Day 1 reached trimula by padaseva,but on the way there is necessary stalls for only light snacks,indeed a good maintance of water and toilets all along ,but there is no proper snack stall for little ideli / some bread / light that can give some energy to climb,instead we only have chips, cold drinks.The things needed while climbing steps are:
1) Proper display of board of free tickets to the devootes climbing the steps.
2) stalls of light refreshments like idali,somosas,or something taht fives a little energy to climb.

While along the way there are many temples to visit,where the poojaries were present in some temples...In Hanuman temple poojari was busy calling and confirming his plane ticket only by Kingfisher.

Day 2: darshanam of LORD GOVINDA, after taking the darshnam of the lord, darshanam of ram ,lakshman,ayoidya, where the poojaries ( the same poojari who as present in hanuman temple the previous day ) was demanding for the money/dakshina to be offered to them , poojari specifying to put it on the plate, " DAKISHANA IDAR DAALU" pointing to the arati plate, I got irate and said " DAKISHANA HUNDI ME DAALNA HAI" .

Day 3: visit to godess Padmavati in Trupati, where inside the temple a cheat of kukum was given where poojari was asking for money.Are these inside the garba gudi, kukum of Goddess Padmavati is been sold.??.
Next visited : venugopal temple near railway station, where at each counter to visit a charity demand was made by poojaries, for aarti and other things.sevas is good if properly done as a ticket method.

No doubt I had satisfied by the visits made , but was a very disappointed by the behaviour of the poojaries, some on the dakishane to be given as specified by the poojaries where they get a good handsome pay for their work, but istead a greed for !!!.

Please do not neglect these recomandations as many devotees of Venkateshwara are of all the ages ,and all types of health conditions and are in need of some brunch type as I have personall experienced as I did not have any thing inn the morning and after taking bath left for padayatra as informed about stalls all along .But need energy for climing a bit..indeed LORD GOVINDA'S Blessing and strength of name GOVINDA ,to visit him by padayatra.
