The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Board, which manages the world-famous Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirupati, has announced revised darshan timings for SRIVANI ticket holders. This new arrangement will be implemented on a trial basis from August 1 to 15, 2025, and aims to significantly reduce the long waiting periods currently faced by pilgrims.
New SRIVANI Darshan Timings Introduced
Under the new system, offline SRIVANI darshan tickets will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis every day from 10 am onwards in Tirumala. Devotees obtaining these tickets will be allowed same-day darshan, with a reporting time of 4:30 pm at the Vaikuntam Queue Complex-1. This initiative is expected to bring major relief to pilgrims who sometimes wait up to three days for a glimpse of Lord Venkateswara under the existing system.
Offline Ticket Quota and Timings
Pilgrims who have already booked SRIVANI darshan tickets online for visits until October 31 will continue to follow their previously allotted 10 am darshan slot. However, for SRIVANI bookings made for dates beyond November 1, 2025, whether online or offline, the new 4:30 pm reporting time will apply.
Important Guidelines for Devotees
TTD has advised all pilgrims opting for offline SRIVANI tickets in Tirumala to reach the ticket issuing point by 10 am sharp. This will ensure a smooth ticketing process and help devotees avoid unnecessary delays or confusion.
Why This Matters?
The SRIVANI scheme is a popular ticket category that funds temple development and provides devotees with special entry darshan. With the revised timings, TTD aims to enhance the pilgrimage experience by minimizing wait times and improving overall crowd management at the temple.
