Tirupati: The left big toe of the revered holy feet of Lord Venkateswara at Srivari Padalu, about 7 km from the main temple, came apart.
Srivari Padalu is considered as the place where Lord Ven-kateswara first landed from Vaikuntam in search of his abode, which is now the sanctum santorum of the Balaji temple. It is one of the holiest of the places of worship atop Tirumala.
TTD unaware how toe broke off:
Tirupati: Devotees were shocked to notice the toe of Srivari Padalu having detached from the feet on Saturday. It is not known how the toe broke off.
The TTD said it was unaware of the incident. Pilgrims make it a point to visit Srivari Padalu and perform special pujas by touching the feet of the lord. However, the Srivari Padalu is largely neglected by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Board.
According to sources, the TTD staff who were at the spot complained to the vigilance staff. They were asked to put it back in place. They complied, and the toe was was covered with turmeric and kum kum.
