The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has introduced a major change in SRIVANI Trust VIP Break Darshan booking starting January 2026. In a move aimed at improving convenience for devotees and reducing long waiting hours at Tirumala, offline SRIVANI darshan counters have now been replaced with an online current booking system on a trial basis.
This update marks a significant shift in how devotees can access the highly sought-after SRIVANI Trust Break Darshan, especially for those arriving without prior bookings.
What Is SRIVANI Trust VIP Break Darshan?
SRIVANI (Sri Venkateswara Aalayala Nirmanam Trust) Darshan is a special VIP Break Darshan facility offered by TTD. Devotees who make a donation to the SRIVANI Trust are eligible for:
- Faster darshan during Break Darshan
- Reduced waiting time
- Contribution toward temple construction and dharmic activities across India
Earlier, many SRIVANI tickets were issued offline at Tirumala counters, forcing devotees to wait for hours or even overnight.
