Dress code for devotees visiting the Tirumala temple: Next time when you visit Tirumala and have the special break darshan of Lord Venkateshwara temple, ensure that you do not wear bermudas, shorts, mini-skirts, middies, sleeveless tops and for that matter, low-waist jeans and short-length T-shirts. Otherwise, you will not be allowed into the temple. According to this code, a woman devotee can wear saree or a chudidar with chunni, whereas a male devotee can wear dhoti or lungi with uttareeyam or kurta-pyjama. A simple shirt and trousers are also allowed, but it would be ideal if men wear dhoti and uttariyam. Other than these traditional dresses, no other outfits like bermudas, T-shirts, jeans, shorts and other Western-style dresses are permitted, And if any devotee forgets to follow this dress code, he or she will be advised to change the dress before entering the queue complex, At present, there is already a dress code in force for pilgrims taking part in special rituals like Suprabhatam, Thomala, Archana and Kalyanotsavam. Now, it has been extended to the general devotees. At present, the dress code is being confined to VIP pilgrims seeking break darshan of Lord Venkateshwara. Gradually, it would be extended to all the devotees throughout the day in a phased manner. It would be applicable even to the foreign devotees and they should cover their body before entering the temple, OM NAMO NARAYANAYA!!!!!!
