Dear Sriman Balaji,

A non-VaikhAnasa is not supposed to touch the images of the Lord, 
thAyArs and parivAra dEvatAs including AchAryas. However, several 
AchArya shrines, including images,  e.g. swAmi dESikan and maNavALa 
mAmuni sannidhis, are maitained by non-vaikhAnasas in the premises of
Tirupati gOvindarAja temple. Same is the case of rAmAnuja sannidhi at 
Thirumala main temple.

Sacristies in the service of the Lord are touched by non-vaikhAnasas, 
right from the Jeeyar.
