Special entry Darshan at Tirupati temple

Tirumala Tirupati is one the most famous temples in India. It is in the state of Tamil Nadu and is a 3-4 hours road journey from Chennai. Almost 60,000 pilgrims visit here every day. On the special occasion, more people come here. So, it is not easy to give every single persona scope for darshan. The temple authority has introduced a new system tirumala online ticket booking for darshan for providing all disciples with a scope for darshan.

In the early days, sarvadarshanam was offered to the pilgrims. Sarvadarshanam means the equal darshan for everyone. Pilgrims require maintaining a queue to reach the main temple for a glimpse of lord venkateswara. But it takes a long time to pass through all the processes like collecting a free ticket, waiting in the queue compartments, standing in a darshan queue and eventually the darshan. Sometimes the total procedure requires almost 7-8 hours. It is not possible for every single one to get that elite darshan and this is truer for the senior citizens. Then, the temple authority initiated the seegrha darshanam on the 21^st of September of 2009 to present the pilgrims with a speedy darshan. It costs just Rs 300. The tirumala 300 Rs online booking is open round the clock and comes with two free laddus per pilgrim.

Following 5 years of initiation of this special entry, the advanced booking facility was incorporated. This facility cane into effectfrom the 27^th of August 2014. This facility lets pilgrims book tickets 3 hours ahead of the available darshan slot on the basis of the quota. But it should be booked on that very day. Now the darshan can be completed effortlessly within a couple of hours or so. They are free to make e-hundi serving while booking the seegrha darshan ticket. People can avail this advance booking facility from the authorized website of tirupati temple. Pilgrims also can book the onlinedarshan ticket from the e-darshan counters and the Indian post office.
