AI-BASED SYSTEM TO ENABLE DARSHAN OF TIRUMALA IN 1 HOUR

You made a surprise move at the first board meeting. With the second meeting slated to take place soon, what key decisions can we expect from you this time around?

As a devout follower of Lord Venkateswara, I firmly believe that Tirumala's sanctity was compromised during the previous administration. It's our responsibility to review those decisions and restore the temple's sanctity. While there are additional decisions on the horizon, I'm not at liberty to disclose them just yet.

One of the key decisions made by the board is the introduction of an AI-based system designed to significantly reduce waiting times for darshan. Can you elaborate on this innovative solution and how it will be implemented?
