TIRUPATI: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is considering a steep raise in the discretionary quota-linked Arjitha seva ticket prices at the Tirumala temple. The new rates are likely to come into effect in the next few days.
The decision to raise prices of Arjitha seva tickets was taken at the TTD trust board meeting held in Tirumala on February 17. All sevas, including Arjitha seva, are being held in “ekantham” (isolation) without the participation of devotees, since the outbreak of the pandemic.
