TTD tightens food safety standards for hoteliers ahead of Brahmotsavams

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) has tightened its food safety regime, directing all hotels and food outlets to adhere strictly to hygiene and quality standards ahead of the twin Brahmotsavams, which are expected to draw a massive influx of devotees to Tirumala.

TTD Additional Executive Officer Ch. Venkaiah Chowdary, addressing hoteliers and food outlet managers at a meeting at Asthana Mandapam on Monday (August 31, 2026), called for uncompromising adherence to food-safety norms to ensure that devotees are served safe, hygienic, and quality food during the ensuing Brahmotsavams.

The Additional EO said the TTD had conducted multiple training programmes over the past two years for hoteliers and their staff on kitchen hygiene, food handling, and processing practices. He directed all hotels to step up compliance and maintain the prescribed standards at every stage of food preparation and service.
