Many Bengalureans have been trekking to Tirumala to have a darshan of the diety on
Vaikunta Ekadashi, which falls on Friday. Every year, thousands make the 270-km journey for this occasion on their
personal vehicles,
public transport and even on their barefoot. Vishwanath G, who works in a city-based public sector, said, This year, we were apprehensive about walking all the way to Tirumala. However, after seeing a number of people already doing it, we decided to join them. His walking mate Mani KV, who works as a technician, said that though it may be tiring to walk for such a long distance, it is interesting.
