Meanwhile when explaining the TTD's decision, Sudhakar told reporters, "The last time "Maha Samprokshana" was held, only 20,000- 30,000 devotees would visit the temple so, it was possible to allow a limited number of them, but, presently over one lakh devotees visit the temple on a daily basis”. Moreover according to TTD officials, the temple's earnings during 2018-19 are expected to be Rs 2,894 crore, of which the offerings in temple 'Hundi' are likely to be Rs 1,156 crore.
