The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams on Wednesday categorically stated that renovation works were being taken up to the Parvetu Mandapam which is in a highly dilapidated condition and denied any kind of demolition of the historical structure.
It clarified that the mandapam situated on the road leading to Papavinasanam was purely used for religious functions connected with the temple and annual Kartika Vana Bhojanam programmes attracting huge assemblage of pilgrims.
To avoid any kind of serious harm to the devotees on such religious occasions and huge gatherings, the TTD resolved to take up renovation of the dilapidated structure in July 2022 at a cost of ₹2.7 crore.
