The temple of Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala scripted history in June, recording its highest-ever monthly pilgrim footfalls, with more than 25 lakh devotees visiting the hill shrine during the 30-day period.

The temple witnessed an average daily footfall of nearly 84,000 pilgrims during the month, surpassing the exceptionally high turnout in May, when the temple registered a daily average turnout of around 82,000 devotees.
