Amaravati, November 26, 2025: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has rolled out a meticulous blueprint for Vaikunta Dwara Darshan, the temple's grandest annual festival from December 30 to January 8, designed to shepherd millions of devotees through sacred gates while balancing devotion with crowd control.
The 10-day period, peaking on Vaikunta Ekadasi (December 30), Dwadasi (31), and New Year's Day, will see darshan exclusively via electronic dip draws for the first three days, with 1+3 family quotas (up to four members) open for registration from November 27 to December 1 on TTD's website, app, or Andhra Pradesh's WhatsApp bot (text "Govinda" or "Hi" for Aadhaar verification; each ID/mobile usable once). Winners get announced on December 2, ensuring equitable access amid the frenzy.
For the remaining days (January 2 to 8), Sarva Darshan unfolds directly at Vaikuntham Queue Complex–2 without tokens, while online bookings for 1,000 daily Srivani and 15,000 Special Entry Darshan tickets commence December 5.
TTD has suspended all Arjita Sevas, SSD tokens in Tirupati, and offline Srivani sales throughout, alongside privileges for seniors, infants, disabled persons, defence personnel, and NRIs.
Local residents snag slots on January 6-8 via a separate quota, with tokens released December 10. VIP Break Darshan limits to self-reporting dignitaries, streamlining entry for the masses.
