Karthik Jagadeesan says
Our family is planning to visit Tirumala on 24th Feb 2021, Wednesday. Both my parents are Senior Citizens. My father is 85 years old and my mother is 71 years old. Me and my wife are accompanying them along with our 2 children(our daughter and son). My son is 11 yrs old, so I guess he can accompany us free in Senior Citizens queue. Can we take our daughter (16 years) too in the same queue? We are ready to take a Rs.300 special Darshan ticket, if needed, to take her along with us in the Senior Citizens queue. Please let me know. 🙏🙏
