How To Book Special Entry Darshan?
Special Entry Darshan, also known as Seeghra Darshan (meaning "quick darshan"), is a popular and convenient option for pilgrims visiting Tirumala. The ticket for this darshan costs ₹300 per person and is primarily booked online. Here's a detailed guide on how to book it.
Online Booking is the Primary Method
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has moved almost entirely to an online system for booking Special Entry Darshan tickets. There are very limited to no offline counters for this category, so online booking is highly recommended.
1. Visit the Official Website: Go to the official TTD website or booking portal. It's crucial to use only the official site to avoid fraudulent websites.
→ The official TTD online booking portal is https://ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in/.
2. Wait in the Virtual Queue: TTD often uses a virtual queue system to manage the high volume of traffic when tickets are released. Be patient and wait for your turn to access the booking page.
3. Login with a Mobile Number:
→ Enter your mobile number and the CAPTCHA code.
→ Click "Generate OTP" to receive a 6-digit one-time password on your phone

4. Check Availability:
→ You will be redirected to the availability page for Special Entry Darshan.
