Vijayawada Durga Temple: దుర్గమ్మ భక్తులకు గుడ్‌న్యూస్.. ఇక ఓటీపీ ఎంటర్ చేస్తే చేతికి దుర్గమ్మ లడ్డూ

According to NTV Telugu, officials at the Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devasthanam in Vijayawada are preparing to introduce new technology to streamline the distribution of 'laddu' prasadam to devotees. The initiative is being planned ahead of the upcoming Dasara Navaratri festival, a period that typically sees a massive influx of pilgrims to the Indrakeeladri hill shrine.

The proposed system aims to reduce the long wait times that devotees often face in traditional queue lines. Temple authorities are reportedly exploring the installation of automated 'laddu ATM' kiosks, which would allow pilgrims to obtain the temple's signature offering more efficiently. By utilizing an OTP-based verification system, the administration hopes to manage the high volume of visitors more effectively during the busy festival season.

While the temple administration has not yet released a full operational timeline, the move is part of a broader effort to integrate digital solutions into the management of major religious sites in India. If implemented, the system would mark a significant shift in how prasadam is dispensed, moving away from manual counters toward self-service technology designed to enhance the experience for thousands of daily visitors.
