The devotees planning to visit the famous Hasanamba Temple in Hassan during the annual Darshan festival in 2026 want to know where and how they can book their tickets online. Since the temple only opens to devotees once a year, lakhs of people are expected to visit Hassan during the limited Darshan period.
The Hassan district administration has provided advance Darshan ticket booking facilities via its official Hasanamba website, mobile application and WhatsApp chatbot. These digital channels are mentioned on the official district administration website as available for devotees from outside Hassan to book Darshan tickets in advance and access festival information.
But for 2026, devotees should be advised not to sign up for unofficial booking links and payment requests. The Karnataka government has issued a tender for appointing a registered agency to manage online booking for the 2026 Sri Hasanamba Devi Darshan and Sri Siddeshwaraswamy Jatra Mahotsava. The tender was issued on September 21, 2026, and the bidding process will continue until October 1.
From this point of view, devotees should look at the booking announcement before they pay via a website, social media link or third party platform.
Where Can Hasanamba Darshan Tickets Be Booked?
The Hassan district administration's Hasanamba information page is the first place devotees should check for the 2026 booking announcement.
Hassan District Administration – Hasanamba information
The district administration has stated that advance Darshan booking has been facilitated through three digital channels:
- Official Hasanamba Temple website
- Sri Hasanamba mobile application
- Official WhatsApp chatbot
The district administration's Hasanamba Temple page also provides links and information about the temple's mobile applications and festival arrangements.

How to Book Hasanamba Temple Tickets Online
When the 2026 online booking window is officially activated, devotees should follow the booking instructions provided on the official Hasanamba platform.
The general process will include selecting the Darshan option, choosing an available date or time slot, entering the devotee details, making the applicable online payment if a paid category is selected, and saving the confirmation or e-ticket.
But devotees should not assume that last year's ticket categories, prices, time slots or booking procedure will automatically apply in 2026. The official booking agency and final arrangements for this year's festival are still being processed.
So the safest approach is to follow these steps:
- Visit the official Hassan district administration's Hasanamba page.
- Look for the official 2026 Darshan booking link or announcement.
- If the official mobile application is specified for 2026 booking, download it only through the official link provided by the district administration.
- If WhatsApp booking is activated, use the official WhatsApp number published by the district administration rather than numbers shared through social media.
- Select the available Darshan date and category.
- Enter all the details of the person and visitor.
- Complete payment only through the official payment gateway, where applicable.
- Save the booking confirmation, QR code or e-ticket on your phone and carry the required identification document during the visit.
Official WhatsApp Number Mentioned by District Administration
The Hassan district administration's Hasanamba information page mentions WhatsApp chatbot number 6366105589 as one of the channels used for advance Darshan booking and festival information.
As the 2026 booking arrangements are currently being finalised, devotees should check the official district administration announcement to confirm that the same number is being used for this year's booking before sharing personal details or making any payment.
What About the Karnataka HRCE Portal?
The Karnataka Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department also has an online service page for Sri Hasanamba Temple, Hassan, including a Darshan Booking section and e-ticket/e-payment verification facility.

However, followers should follow the booking channel specifically announced for the 2026 Hasanamba Jatra, rather than assuming that every service that is visible on the general HRCE portal is currently open for the annual festival.
Important Warning for Devotees
Hasanamba Darshan is so popular that it also creates opportunities for fake websites, social media pages, and payment requests. Devotees should avoid booking through links received from unknown WhatsApp groups, Facebook pages or other unofficial sources.
Before paying for a ticket, check whether the booking link has been published by the Hassan district administration, Karnataka government or an officially designated booking agency.
The official Hassan district website states that booking is intended to help devotees from outside Hassan get smoother Darshan during the annual festival.
When Is Hasanamba Darshan 2026?
The Hasanamba festival in 2026 is anticipated to attract large numbers of devotees as the temple is only open for a short time every year. The district administration has already started preparing for crowd management and other arrangements.
As of September 25, the online booking process is still underway, so in the long run, devotees should wait for the official 2026 ticket-release announcement rather than relying on unverified booking information.
For the latest updates, devotees should regularly check the official Hassan district administration's Hasanamba pages and use only the booking channels officially announced for the 2026 festival.
