Introduction
- The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has introduced a major update for Srivani Darshan tickets from January 9, 2026.
- Earlier, many devotees used to obtain offline Srivani tickets by standing in queues at Tirumala counters. Now, TTD has shifted these offline tickets to an online current booking system to improve convenience and reduce crowd waiting times.
- This transitional phase is initially implemented on a trial basis to assess how smoothly devotees can plan same-day darshan using digital booking.
What Changed on January 9?
From 9th January 2026, offline Srivani Darshan ticket counters at Tirumala have been stopped temporarily, and all such tickets are now provided via an online booking window only. Here’s how the new system works:
- Booking Opens: 9:00 AM
- Booking Closes: 2:00 PM (or earlier if quota fills)
- Darshan Reporting: 4:00 PM on the same day
- Mode: Online current booking (first-come, first-served)
- Devotees per booking: Limited to family group size
- Same day darshan must be reported at Tirumala before the given time
Why TTD Made This Change?
TTD’s move to shift offline tickets online aims to:
- Reduce long queues and overnight waiting at ticket counters
- Provide fair access to all devotees through online slots
- Improve organization during peak seasons and festivals
- Ensure transparent and efficient ticket distribution
Overnight crowding and congestion were common at Tirumala’s offline ticket counters — a challenge this new system seeks to solve.
