A major fire mishap was averted at the temple kitchen of the Sri Venkateswara temple at Tirumala on Saturday evening. At around 5.15 pm, the kitchen staff were melting ghee for the laddus. The pan was kept on a burner, and accidentally some of the ghee fell on the flames. Soon the flames got out of control and rose to a height of about 30 feet and covered the entire kitchen and the adjoining ugranam (store room) with soot. The smoke was also seen outside the temple. In a few minutes, the fire tenders were pressed into service and the flames were doused. No one was injured. The site of the mishap is only a few feet away from the darshan queue area. The kitchen is located at the Sampangi Prakaram of the temple complex, which is at the backside of the Ananda Nilayam, the place where the presiding deity is kept. I think the lord himself took care of everything..otherwise ..30 Feet flames...that too in such a crowded place..ante.. |
