TTD Introduces New Darshan Facilities for Local and NRI Devotees
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has announced new updates for devotees, aiming to enhance the pilgrimage experience for both local residents and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) devotees.
TTD’s Initiatives for Devotees
On February 9, 2025, TTD distributed Srivari darshan tokens to local residents at the Mahati Auditorium in Tirupati and the Balaji Nagar Community Hall in Tirumala. These tokens allowed locals to visit the Tirumala temple on February 11, 2025. This initiative provided an opportunity for local devotees to have a smooth and organized darshan experience.
In response to requests from NRI devotees, TTD has increased the daily quota of VIP break darshan slots from 50 to 100. This change allows more NRI devotees and their families to have a more convenient and expedited darshan experience at the temple.
How to Avail the New Facilities
Local residents interested in obtaining Srivari darshan tokens should stay updated with TTD’s announcements regarding distribution dates and venues. It’s advisable to arrive early at the designated centers to secure tokens, as they are typically distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
NRI devotees wishing to utilize the increased VIP break darshan slots can book their tickets through TTD’s official online portal. Early booking is recommended due to the limited number of slots available daily.
Community Response
Both local and NRI devotees have expressed gratitude towards TTD for these thoughtful initiatives. A local devotee shared, “Receiving the darshan token made my visit to the temple seamless and spiritually enriching.” An NRI devotee added, “The increased VIP darshan slots allowed my family to have a memorable and hassle-free pilgrimage.”
TTD’s recent updates demonstrate its dedication to accommodating the diverse needs of its devotee base. By implementing these measures, TTD ensures that both local and international devotees can partake in a more accessible and fulfilling spiritual journey.
