Thousands of devotees visit the holy Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Temple every day to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Many pilgrims may believe that darshan tickets must always be booked three months in advance, but there is another convenient option that many are unaware of.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) also releases some darshan quotas one month before the date, giving devotees another chance to secure tickets without planning months ahead.
One-Month Advance Booking Option
Apart from the regular advance booking system, TTD periodically opens a one-month quota through its official online portal. That allows devotees who missed earlier bookings to reserve Special Entry Darshan (SED) or other available quotas, depending on availability.
The exact release schedule is announced by TTD every month and tickets are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Because demand is so high, devotees are advised to log in as soon as bookings open.
How to Book Srivari Darshan Online
Follow these simple steps to book your darshan ticket:
- Visit the official TTD booking portal. Log in using your registered mobile number or create a new account.
- Select the "Special Entry Darshan" or the available darshan category.
- Choose your preferred date and available time slot.
- Enter the details of all the pilgrims according to their government-issued ID.
- Complete and save the confirmation ticket for your visit.
Pilgrims should carry the same identity proof used during booking while visiting the temple.
Important Tips for Devotees
Before making a booking, you need to prepare your TTD account. Ensure there is a stable internet connection when tickets are being released. Use only the official TTD website or mobile app. Do not approach any middlemen or unauthorized agents. Check TTD’s official announcements for the latest booking dates and quota releases.
What If tickets Are sold out
If online tickets are out, devotees can also look at:
Sarva Darshan (free darshan)
Divya Darshan for pilgrims walking through Alipiri or Srivari Mettu. Srivari Seva quotas (subject to eligibility). Special festival or additional quotas announced by TTD from time to time. Plan Your Tirumala Visit
Tirumala gets lakhs of pilgrims during weekends and holidays and festivals, so booking early substantially improves the chances of getting a convenient darshan slot. A family pilgrimage should also be planned for accommodation and transportation well in advance.
Since devotees are kept updated with TTD’s monthly announcements, they can book darshan tickets even a month before their visit, thus making pilgrimage planning much easier as well.
