Srisailam temple EO asks devotees to utilise online services

Srisailam temple executive officer (EO) M. Srinivasa Rao asked the temple staff and employees to publicise the online services provided by the temple for the convenience of the devotees. Mr. Srinivasa Rao held a review on the implementation of the online services of Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple with the heads of department and supervisors of the temple, on Wednesday.

He also urged the devotees to utilise the online services for darshan and accommodation, adding that the services were made online following the directions of the State government. “The Sparsha Darshan, ₹300 Athi Sheegra Darshan and ₹150 Sheegra Darshan tickets and also 14 Arjitha Sevas like Garbhalaya Abhisekham, Kumkumarchana, Ganapathi Homam, Rudra Homam, Maha Mrutyunjaya Homam, Kalyanotsavam, Annaprasana, Aksharabyasam and other seva tickets can be booked online,” he said.

“Every employee and officer should create awareness about the online services intended to provide hassle-free darshan and accommodation to the devotees. The volunteers, Shiva Sevaks, should also be made aware of the online services to give wider publicity,” Mr Srinivasa Rao said. He asked the Engineering officials to make a separate queue line for the devotees who book tickets online and instal boards on the available online services.

Online services shall be availed only through www.aptemples.ap.gov.in or www.srisailadevasthanam.org or Mana Mithra WhatsApp governance number 9552300009. Those who book online Sparsha Darshan and Arjitha Sevas have to bring a printed copy of the ticket, along with a xerox copy of Aadhar card, and produce original Aadhar card while scanning the QR code on the ticket.

As the Arjitha Sevas and Sparsha Darshan are performed at a specific time mentioned on the ticket, the EO asked the ticket holders to report 15 minutes in advance at the Arjitha Seva queue line.
