How to Book Tirupati Darshan Online in 2026

Booking darshan at Sri Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala has become significantly easier with the TTD online booking system. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step of the process, from registration to confirmation.

Step 1: Visit the Official TTD Website

Go to tirupatibalaji.ap.gov.in - this is the only official website for TTD online bookings. Be cautious of fraudulent websites that may appear similar. The official site has a blue and saffron color scheme with the TTD logo prominently displayed.

Step 2: Register Your Account

If you are a first-time user, click on 'New Registration'. You will need to provide your full name (as per ID proof), valid mobile number, email address, and create a secure password. An OTP will be sent to your mobile number for verification. Complete the OTP verification to activate your account.

Registration Tips

• Use the same name as your government ID proof
• Keep your mobile number active - booking confirmations are sent via SMS
• Note down your login credentials securely

Step 3: Login and Select Darshan Type

After logging in, navigate to the 'Darshan Booking' section. You will see multiple options:

SSD (Special Entry Darshan) at Rs 300 is the most popular choice as it offers a significantly shorter wait time and includes one laddu prasadam.

Step 4: Choose Date and Time Slot

Select your preferred date from the calendar. Bookings open exactly 3 days in advance at 9:00 AM. For example, if today is March 28, you can book for March 31. Popular slots fill up within minutes, so be ready at 8:55 AM.

Best Slot Strategy

• Early morning slots (3-5 AM) move fastest but are most competitive
• Afternoon slots (1-3 PM) on weekdays are easiest to get
• Evening slots (7-9 PM) offer a pleasant experience
• Weekday slots are significantly easier to secure than weekends

Step 5: Enter Pilgrim Details

Fill in details for all pilgrims (maximum 6 per booking). Required information includes full name, age, gender, and ID proof type and number. The ID proof entered here must match the physical ID you carry on darshan day. Children under 12 can be included without separate ID.

Step 6: Make Payment and Download Confirmation

Complete the payment using UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), debit/credit card, or net banking. Payment must be completed within 10 minutes. After successful payment, download the confirmation receipt as PDF and take a printout. Also save it on your phone as backup.

On the Day of Darshan

Arrive at the SSD counter at Tirumala at least 30 minutes before your slot time. Carry the original ID proof and booking confirmation. Deposit mobile phones, cameras, and leather items at the free locker facility. Wear traditional attire as per the dress code.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before the darshan date. A fee of Rs 50 per person is deducted, and the remaining amount is refunded within 7-10 working days to the original payment method.
