Fire broke out in the famous hill shrine of Tirumala (Tirupathi) in Andhra Pradesh in the early hours of Friday, creating panic among thousands of devotees who were queued up for darshan.
The fire erupted in the ‘potu’ (kitchen) of the temple that is dedicated to Lord Venkateswara, where the famous Tirupathi laddus are made.
As cooks rushed out of the kitchens, two fire tenders were rushed to the spot to control the flames.
