Tirupati, October 27, 2026: TTD Executive Officer Sri M. Ravichandra appreciated the officers and employees of all Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) departments for their coordinated efforts in successfully conducting the annual and Navaratri Brahmotsavams of Sri Venkateswara Swamy at Tirumala.
Reviewing departmental performance at a meeting held at the TTD Administrative Building in Tirupati on Tuesday, the EO said enthusiastic teamwork and seamless coordination had helped provide better facilities to devotees and ensure the smooth conduct of Vahana Sevas and Moolavirat Darshan.
Devotee Satisfaction Remains the Guiding Principle
Sri Ravichandra stated that minor difficulties reported during the initial days of the Brahmotsavams were identified and resolved promptly. He appreciated the continued efforts of officers and staff to improve services and ensure a satisfactory experience for pilgrims.
He particularly praised the Garden and Electrical Departments for their floral decorations and illuminations at the temple premises and across Tirupati city, which enhanced the festive atmosphere and received appreciation from devotees.
Appreciation for Quality Services Across Departments
The EO commended the Annaprasadam Department for serving quality food to lakhs of devotees during the festivals. He also appreciated the Security personnel for their alertness and the Health Department for maintaining cleanliness and sanitation in Tirumala.
He acknowledged the contributions of the following departments:
-
Kalyanakatta
-
Medical

Transport

Forest
The exhibitions organised during the Brahmotsavams to educate and engage devotees were also recognised as a special attraction.
Advance Planning for Timely Completion of Works
Noting that the Engineering Department had completed essential works within the stipulated time, the EO directed officials to prepare comprehensive advance action plans for future festivals. These plans should help prevent delays in civil works, water supply, electrical works and other engineering activities.
He also instructed the Marketing Department to plan raw material procurement at least 90 days in advance.
Emphasising preparedness, interdepartmental coordination and continuous monitoring, Sri Ravichandra called for ongoing improvements in the quality of services provided to devotees.

He advised SVBC to improve broadcast quality further and introduce more engaging programmes during the next Brahmotsavams.
Cultural Performances Showcase India's Heritage
Sri Ravichandra said cultural performances presented before the Vahana Sevas by thousands of artistes from different states were a major attraction for devotees.
