  1. Its very worst temple in tirupati…On gangamma jatara… VIP tickets issued by chairman…. Temple management is totally failed to….I have waiting in line from 2hrs evening i leaved temple without darshanam….Only 50Rs line is moving all working with money …Their is no bakthi.

    1. Dear Hemanth
      Very sorry to hear your pain of not able to get the dharshan of Goddess Gangamma. It is there every where almost occupied. People only should resist such on the spot and drive the people who ever come with a recommendation letter and get dharshan. The day it comes everyone will have dharshan of the mother in a single general line in every temple.
      The god should only come and resolve this issues.
      Om Namah Shivaya
