Tirupati, December 16, 2024: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) offers a variety of darshan options for devotees visiting the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, catering to different needs and preferences. With the increasing number of devotees, TTD has introduced multiple darshan systems to ensure a smooth and organized pilgrimage experience. From the traditional Sarvadarshan to the more convenient Slotted Booking, each darshan type provides devotees with flexibility and ease.
Sarvadarshan is the free darshan, where devotees can visit the temple and offer prayers. While it doesn’t require prior booking, it can sometimes involve long waiting hours due to the heavy footfall of pilgrims. This darshan is often preferred by those who seek a simple, spiritual visit without specific time constraints.
In contrast, Slotted Booking allows devotees to book specific time slots for darshan in advance through the TTD website or designated counters. This system helps in reducing waiting time and ensures a more organized flow of devotees. Slotted darshan options include Special Darshan for those who opt for a quicker visit and Divine Darshan, which offers a premium experience with exclusive benefits.
Other options like VIP Darshan and Arcot Darshan cater to devotees seeking faster access, with additional charges or specific eligibility requirements. Each of these darshan types is designed to accommodate different groups of devotees, ensuring that everyone has a chance to visit the temple while maintaining an orderly crowd management system. TTD continues to innovate and introduce new methods to enhance the experience for pilgrims, balancing convenience with tradition.
