The Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanams (TTD) manages darshan slot bookings online through its official website and mobile app. Slots are released in advance, typically a few weeks before the darshan date, and vary based on the type of darshan selected. Users must register or log in with valid credentials to access the booking portal. Select the preferred date, darshan type (e.g., Srinivasa Samastana Darshan, Kalyana Lakshmi, or Vipra Dharmik), and preferred time slot. Payment for the darshan ticket is made online using credit/debit cards or net banking. After successful payment, an e-ticket or SMS confirmation is sent to the registered mobile number. Physical tickets can be collected at designated counters at Tirumala before the scheduled darshan time. It is advisable to book early as popular slots fill up quickly, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons. The process is paperless, and no offline booking options are currently available for most categories. Travelers should carry valid ID proof and a printed or digital copy of the e-ticket for entry.
