With devotees thronging the hill shrine, the limited facilities available atop the shrine were stretched beyond their limits. The Vaikuntam Q complex was brimming with devotees, several thousands of whom spilled over in kilometre-long queues outside the Q Complex.
According to the TTD, about 4, 1780 devotees had darshan from 3 am to 6 pm. The waiting time for devotees opting for ‘Sarva Darshan’ touched the 30-hour mark.
