BANGALORE, INDIA, February 4, 2003 : Many Hindu pilgrimage sites are undergoing a high tech-makeover intended to offer a superior pilgrimage experience. The prominent ones which are sinking in tens of thousand of U.S. dollars in this e-transformation process include Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam (TTD), Shirdi Sai Baba Devasthanam and Khalsa Heritage, among others. Tirupati will use an integrated system for automation of its various departments. Once ready, the project will benefit pilgrims by giving them access to information about sevas, darshan times and will also help them make the necessary reservations and fee payments online. Shirdi Sai Baba Devasthanam has commissioned a networking project to automate its key departments. The Khalsa Heritage in Punjab and Nirankari Mission in New Delhi are setting up what they term “immersive multimedia theatres,” which will offer devotees the latest in digital spiritual experience.
