TTD Srivani Offline Darshan Tickets: A Special Counter Introduced for Devotees
Good news has come for devotees wishing to have a darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala. TTD has set up a special counter for the offline allocation of Srivani darshan tickets. The counter was inaugurated by TTD Additional EO Venkayya Chowdary on Wednesday, behind the local Gokulam Meeting Hall. This new counter was set up to alleviate the difficulties faced by devotees during the rainy season at the existing counter.
Venkayya Chowdary mentioned that 900 tickets will be allocated offline daily. Previously, it took three to four minutes to allot a ticket, but now, with improvements in the application, tickets will be distributed in just one minute. He added that devotees can now easily obtain tickets from any of the five counters.

On Friday, Tejaswi is also set to offer another Viajayanthi Mala to Goddess Padmavati in Tiruchanur.
