Introduction
Tirumala is one of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites in the world, and thousands of NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) visit every year to seek the divine blessings of Lord Venkateswara. However, navigating the darshan process as an NRI can be confusing due to time constraints, document requirements, and limited information. That’s where Padmavathi Travels steps in to make your NRI Darshan simple, smooth, and spiritual.
What is NRI Darshan at Tirumala?
NRI Darshan is a special facility provided by TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) exclusively for NRIs. It allows quicker access to Balaji Darshan through a dedicated entry point, generally at Vaikuntam Queue Complex-1. The wait time is significantly reduced, and the experience is more peaceful compared to general darshan.
This facility is ideal for NRIs visiting India for a short time, as it helps them avoid long queues and ensures they can have darshan even within tight travel schedules.
Eligibility for NRI Darshan
To be eligible for NRI Darshan in Tirumala, you must meet the following criteria:
- Must hold a foreign passport or an Indian passport with valid Visa/OCI.
- Should have arrived in India within the last 30 days (entry stamp proof required).
- Minimum age for entry is 12 years.
- Must carry all necessary original documents for verification.
Required Documents for NRI Darshan
Ensure you have the following ready when booking NRI Darshan:
- Valid passport with Visa/OCI
- Immigration entry stamp showing recent arrival in India
- Passport-size photo (if booking online)
- Contact details (mobile number and email)
- Any additional ID if required (Aadhaar, for Indian spouse/children)
All these are verified before allowing access to the NRI Darshan.
SRIVANI Darshan – A VIP Option for NRIs
If you’re looking for an even faster and premium darshan experience, SRIVANI Darshan is a perfect choice. By donating ₹10,000 per person to the SRIVANI Trust (Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana Trust), you can get access to VIP Break Darshan, also known as VVIP Darshan.
