Ans .: In any case No Person (whether He is a VVIP ,VVVIP, Swamiji, or any Highest Authority, or even the EO ) will be allowed to touch the idol or enter the Sanctum, except Vaikhanasa Archakas who alone can touch the idol or enter the Sanctum. Devotees whether they are VIP's or Swamiji's are permitted up to the first Threshold Kulasekhara Padi only. They can have darsan only. Even the Pedda Jeeyangar, Chinna Jeeyangar, Ekangi, Acharya Purushas can enter the Sanctum but are not permitted to touch the idols.
The Temple has attachment with osme few sacred Mutts like, Mantralaya Raghavendra Mutt, Ahobila Mutt, Srirangam Jeeyar Mutt, Kanchikamakoti Mutt only those Swamiji's belonging to the Mutt are allowed once in a year to enter inside the Sanctum (but not to touch the idol or do any kind of worship). When they are coming at the Bedi Anjaneya Swamy Temple, the Satari of Lord Venkateswara is taken out for Procession by Archaka to invite the Swamiji with Temple Honors like Gaja, Umbrella, Melam, Divitees etc and the Archaka will give Satari to the Swamiji and then He is invited to the Temple thru Mahadwaram and straight He will go near the Sanctum. And after offering Harahtis and all He is now allowed inside the Sanctum and he can stay there for few minutes wherein the Archaka will now give him the Alavattam (means handfan) to offer the service by him then He will be presented with Theertham, Satari, a Vasthram which is adorned to the Mulavirat is presented to the Swamiji.
For VIP's like President, Prime Minister, Cheif Minister of AP, Governor of AP will receive a welcome by Archakas known as 'Istikaphal Swagatham'. At Bedi Anjaneya Swamy Temple the Archaka in a Silver Plate will carry Sripadarenu(the camphor that is taken from Mulavirat namam) , Sri Pada Chandanam, a small Laddu(1 No.) and the VIP at Bedi Anjaneya Swamy Temple will touch that plate and then He is taken to the Temple thru Maha Dwaram and is given Harathi with Itihyam (explanation of Sthala Puranam) and then Theertham, Satari, Melchat Sesha Vastram.
