The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams' (TTD) new e-dip system for darshan has faced criticism for its crowd management and altered visitor demographics. Lower-than-expected footfalls on the initial days of 'Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan' have led to questions about the TTD's capacity and the system's random allotment process. Devotees and political figures have voiced concerns, with some arguing the system deviates from traditional pilgrimage and spiritual tourism goals.
