Complete Guide to Tirupati's 10-Day Vaikuntha Darshan 2023-2024: Registration, Tokens, and Special Arrangements

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has revealed comprehensive arrangements for the ten-day Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan at Srivari Temple, running from December 30 to January 8.

Prioritizing common devotees, TTD has implemented significant changes, including the cancellation of most special privileges and the introduction of an Electronic Dip system for the initial three high-demand days.

For December 30 (Vaikuntha Ekadashi), December 31 (Vaikuntha Dwadasi), and January 1 (New Year), darshan tokens will be distributed exclusively through the Electronic Dip system.

A 1+3 family quota will be applied, permitting groups of up to four members to participate in the darshan together.

Registration for the Electronic Dip opens at 10 AM on November 27 and closes at 5 PM on December 1. Devotees can register via the TTD website, mobile app, or the AP Government WhatsApp Bot (9552300009).

Results of the Electronic Dip will be announced on December 2 at 2 PM.

For January 2 through January 8, common devotees can access Sarva Darshan directly without tokens through the Vaikuntham Queue Complex–2.

SED and SRIVANI tickets for January 2-8 will be available online starting December 5 at 10 AM, with 1,000 tickets released daily.

Additionally, 15,000 SED tickets (₹300) per day will be made available online on December 5 at 3 PM.

To maximize access for general pilgrims, TTD has implemented several restrictions, including the cancellation of SED, Srivani Darshan, and all other special darshans during the first three days.

The issuance of SSD tokens in Tirupati is suspended for the entire 10-day period, and offline Srivani tickets at airports are also cancelled.

All privilege darshans for senior citizens, persons with disabilities, parents with infants, defense personnel, and NRIs are cancelled from December 30 to January 8.

Regarding VIP access, only self-protocol dignitaries will receive VIP Break Darshan, with all recommendation letters for VIP Darshan being cancelled and all Arjita Sevas suspended.

For local residents, a dedicated online quota will be released on December 10 for those living in Tirupati, Chandragiri, and Renigunta (4,500 tokens/day), as well as Tirumala (500 tokens/day).

Donors contributing ₹1 lakh or more must book their darshan online through the donor application when tickets are released on December 5 at 10 AM.

TTD has requested all devotees to cooperate with these arrangements to ensure a smooth, safe, and comfortable darshan experience.
