From Wednesday, Tirumala revamped its queue system to enable hassle-free darshan for devotees. The earlier system of ‘stop-hold-allow’ had led to a crunchy situation in the inner portals of the ‘

Sampangi Prakaram

’ and also in the queues. The number of lines from ‘Mahadwaram’ (main entrance) is now two and not four as earlier. While the first line goes round the Ranganayakula mandapam, the other runs alongside the Dwajastambham. Both the lines merge at ‘Vendi Vakili’.
