Srisailam: Anticipating a massive influx of lakhs of pilgrims from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and northern states, the Srisailam Devasthanam on Thursday announced revised schedules and online ticketing protocols for Sparsha Darshan and Arjitha Sevas during the upcoming Shravanam month, observed from August 13 to September 12. Under the revised plan, Arjitha Abhishekam and Arjitha Kumkumarchana will remain completely suspended on 19 designated peak days, encompassing all Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays throughout the Shravanam month. On these high-footfall days, Sparsha Darshan will be restricted to a single late-evening slot at 8:30 PM, capped at a limited quota of 250 tickets. On all non-peak days, Sparsha Darshan will operate as usual across three slots—7:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 9:00 PM—alongside regular Arjitha Seva ticket issuance. The authorities advised visiting devotees planning to participate in Sparsha Darshan or Arjitha Sevas during the month-long festivities to secure their tickets well in advance through these digital channels before embarking on their pilgrimage to the shrine.
