At the sacred Tirumala Temple, about 27,000 devotees gathered on March 3 for darshan. With four waiting compartments filled, Sarvadarshan without tokens stretched to nearly 6 hours. Nearly 9,985 pilgrims offered tonsures, while hundi offerings reached ₹4.46 crore. Due to a lunar eclipse, TTD suspended services until evening, resuming Sarvadarshanam at 8:30 pm.
