Cool weather leads all roads to Yadadri, temple brims over

Hyderabad: With a dip in mercury and the end of summer vacation, the Yadagirigutta temple witnessed an unprecedented heavy rush on Sunday, with temple authorities estimating that nearly 60,000 to 80,000 worshippers had darshan of Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy.
Usually, the footfall of worshippers during the weekends is about 40,000 to 50,000, but this Sunday saw the numbers double.
All the queue lines in the queue complex on the hilltop were packed with worshippers from the wee hours. As a result, on average, it took 4 to 5 hours for ‘sarva darshan’, and for VIP and break darshan, worshippers waited for at least two to three hours.
Parking areas were completely packed with hundreds of vehicles, and at least another 1,000 vehicles were parked on the roads due to the lack of adequate space. The Yadagirigutta bus station was choked with a huge rush of passengers from 6am onwards.
