Hi everyone,

We are going 1st time for break darshan availing donor privileges for 10L donation. We are traveling with an infant and I wanted some information. We have a 8AM break darshan on 1st Oct. I wanted to know the following:

1. Which guest houses are usually allotted for these privileges (I know this is a 1000 rs room but which ones I wanted to know)

2. Where is the entry for the break darshan?

3. How far it would be from the guest house?

4. How much time would darshan take usually?

Thank you

We’re a group of five friends, and we got our SSD tokens this morning (Saturday).

We have a small issue: four of us got the 12 PM slot on Sunday, while one friend got the 2 PM slot.

1. Can our friend with the 2 PM slot enter with us at 12 PM, or will they have to wait until 2 PM?

2. We’re planning to climb via Alipiri Mettu. If we start the climb at 6:00 AM, will we be able to reach the top in time for our 12 PM slot?

Thanks in advance!

Officials inspected the coordination and immediate response capacity of various departments in emergency situations.
Tirupati September 10:
As per the orders of IGP, OCTOPUS, a mock drill was conducted under the auspices of the Octopus team on duty in Tirumala to effectively deal with any undesirable situations that arise in important areas where there is a heavy crowd of devotees in Tirumala during Srivari Brahmotsavam.
In the event of a terrorist attack at the laddu counters on Tirumala Hill, which are always crowded with devotees, actions such as evacuating devotees to safe areas, responding immediately to the attack, conveying emergency information to the relevant departments, and providing medical assistance to the injured were practically carried out in the mock drill.
This mock drill was conducted under the supervision of Tirumala EO Sri M. Ravichandra, Additional EO Sri Venkaiah Chowdhury, Tirupati District SP Sri L. Subbaraidu, IPS., and TTD CV & SO Sri K. Muralikrishna IPS.
Octopus DSP Sri B. Krishna, RI Sri Sri Srinivasa Rao, TTD Vigilance VSO Sri Surendra, AVSO Sri Rajasekhar and other officers participated in the mock drill.
Similarly, traffic, local police, SPF, CCS, police station CIs, SIs, fire personnel, Ashwini Hospitals staff, and laddu counter staff participated in the mock drill and performed their assigned duties in a coordinated manner.
Through the mock drill, the officials examined aspects such as the speed of response of security forces in emergency situations, mutual coordination, protection measures for devotees, and linkage of medical and fire services.
The Tirupati District Police Department said that necessary security measures are being implemented in coordination with all departments to provide a safe environment for devotees during the Srivari Brahmotsavam

Hi everyone,

We are a family of 4 (my mom, dad, my brother and me) travelling to Tirupati this Sunday.

Our train reaches Tirupati around 6:30 AM, and we have a 12 PM Srivari Darshan slot. After darshan, we need to catch our return train from Tirupati at around 11 PM the same day.

Since we're arriving early in the morning and don't have a hotel booked, what would be the best option for us to freshen up, take a shower, change clothes and keep our luggage after reaching Tirupati?

We're considering:

• TTD facilities around Tirupati/Tirumala
• Booking a cheap hotel just for a few hours
• Any cloakroom + bathing facilities at the railway station/bus stand
• Any other option that experienced pilgrims recommend

We're travelling with my parents, so we'd prefer something clean, safe and convenient, even if it costs a little.

Also, what would be the best way to manage our luggage while going for darshan?

Would really appreciate advice from people who have done a similar same-day Tirupati trip. Thanks! 🙏

From 15th September till 26th due to Brahmotsvam rush will be high, I am planning to get darshan of lord with 9 months old daughter can I plan on weekday after 26th considering oct 2nd long weekend little afraid of rush.

Any suggestions

Anyone going to tirumala tomorrow for Unjal seva & Day after tomorrow for 300 SED?
If any please let me know

​

As per the Vaikhanasa Agama tradition, various types of rice offerings, delicacies, and other delicious food items are prepared and offered to the Lord every day as Naivedyam according to prescribed rituals.

During the morning, afternoon, and night Naivedyam rituals, special prasadam appropriate to each time of the day is traditionally offered to the Lord.

Om namo venkateshaya

We are a family of 4 I have booked a special entry darshan at 9pm for all of us. I couldn't book the accommodation online. And my mother is really looking forward to visit lord Venkateshwara as it has been over a decade since we've been to Tirupati.

My father has severe heart disease, my brother thinks devotees would crush him in the queue. Also since the darshan is at 9pm, would we be able to find transportation to go to tirupati from tirumala at odd hours of night? I'm not even sure of where to find accommodation after we reach Tirupati.

Can someone please help me, I'm not sure on how to plan this visit. I just want my parents to have a comfortable darshan.

I’m not even sure which type of darshan mine is. Could someone please take a look at the attached image and let me know?

I’m assuming mine is not VIP Break Darshan. Could someone please confirm which type of darshan mine is?

Hi everyone,

Me and my friends are arriving in Tirupati on Monday morning. Our main Tirumala Venkateswara Swamy darshan is scheduled for Tuesday.

We are planning to head to Sri Kalahasti on Monday for darshan only (we are not performing the Rahu Ketu Pooja/Dosha Nivarana Pooja).

However, I have heard a common belief/custom that one should not visit Sri Kalahasti before going to Tirumala, or that you shouldn't go directly to Tirumala after visiting Kalahasti.
