In a significant move towards digital transformation, the renowned Sri Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple in Simhachalam has launched comprehensive online services for devotees. This initiative comes following directives from the Andhra Pradesh government and instructions from the revenue commissioner of the endowments department.
Comprehensive Digital Services Launched
Temple executive officer N Sujatha announced that the temple has implemented a wide range of online facilities to enhance the devotional experience. These services include accommodation booking, darshan reservations, abhishekam arrangements, various pooja services, and the sale of prasadam tokens through their dedicated online portal.
The digital platform enables devotees to book multiple services, secure darshan tickets, and obtain prasadam tokens from the comfort of their homes. This innovative approach significantly reduces the need for physical queues and waiting times at the temple premises.
Special Privileges for Online Bookings
The temple administration has established a special counter and separate queue line exclusively for devotees who have made online bookings. This dedicated system allows them to have darshan conveniently and receive the famous special laddu prasadam without delays.
Devotees with confirmed online bookings are permitted to approach the deity through this special line, ensuring a smoother and more organized devotional experience. The temple management has designed this system to respect the time and convenience of worshippers while maintaining the sanctity of the temple environment.
Multiple Booking and Donation Options
The temple has provided multiple channels for accessing these online services. Devotees can book tickets through the official website www.aptemples.ap.gov.in or via the 'Mana Mitra' WhatsApp number at 9552300009.
Additionally, the temple has enabled digital payment options for various services and donations. Devotees can now contribute to annadanam (food offerings), permanent poojas, cow protection schemes, and other charitable activities using credit cards, debit cards, Google Pay, PhonePe, and other digital payment methods.
The executive officer emphasized that these digital initiatives are designed to serve devotees better and requested all visitors to make proper use of the online facilities. This digital transformation represents a significant step forward in temple management and devotional services in Andhra Pradesh.
