Overview
- The pilot, running August 1–15, will allow offline SRIVANI ticket holders to complete darshan on the same day under existing quotas of 800 at Tirumala and 200 at Renigunta Airport.
- Tickets in Tirumala will be issued at 10 am on a first-come, first-served basis at the Gokulam guesthouse and at 7 am at Renigunta Airport.
- Under the new timing, pilgrims must report to Vaikuntam Queue Complex-1 by 4:30 pm the same day to enter the darshan queue.
- TTD officials say the change aims to eliminate waits of up to three days and relieve pressure on Tirumala’s limited on-site accommodation.
- Advance online bookings through October 31 will retain their 10 am slots, while reservations from November 1 will shift to the 4:30 pm reporting time.
