The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has announced elaborate arrangements and detailed guidelines for the upcoming Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan at the Srivari Temple, scheduled to run for ten days from December 30 to January 8.
Giving top priority to common devotees, TTD has cancelled most special privileges and introduced an Electronic Dip system for the high-demand first three days.
For the first three crucial days — December 30 (Vaikuntha Ekadashi), December 31 (Vaikuntha Dwadasi), and January 1 (New Year) — darshan tokens will be allocated exclusively through an Electronic Dip system.
Tokens will be allotted under the 1+3 family quota, allowing up to four members.
Devotees must register for the dip from 10 AM on November 27 to 5 PM on December 1 via the TTD website, TTD Mobile App, or the AP Government WhatsApp Bot (9552300009).
The results of the Electronic Dip will be declared on December 2 at 2 PM.
The schedule of darshan and ticket sales for the remaining days has also been announced.
For Sarva Darshan from January 2 to 8, common devotees can avail Sarva Darshan directly without tokens through the Vaikuntham Queue Complex–2.
For SED and SRIVANI tickets (January 2 to 8), 1,000 tickets per day will be released online on December 5 at 10 AM.
For SED (₹300), 15,000 tickets per day will be released online on December 5 at 3 PM.
