On Saturday, 87,216 people climbed the mountain, and 9,822 spot bookings were made, temple authorities said. Once they have their darshan, they immediately start on their way back. There is a long queue for the Neyyabhishekam, with devotees queuing up the night before to perform the abhishekam. They often sleep while standing or sitting in line. The police have implemented restrictions to manage overcrowding at Sannidhanam.
