This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 24 November 2015.
Usually it sees a heavy rush on weekends but, this weekend, the rush to one of the country's most famous hilltop shrine shrunk by half to just 50,000. There were at least 30,000 fewer pilgrims waiting for darshan the next day. It took just three hours for the general darshan to be completed those who travel by foot through the mountains got darshan within two hours because there were very few people en route.
Many devotees were compelled to cancel their trips because rains have been continuously pounding the temple town and the shrine above for the last 10 days, forcing people to stay indoors.
