Tirupati–Tirumala, 22 April 2026 – For darshan on 2 April 2026, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) released 10,000 Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) tokens at 04:55 AM on 21 April. The quota was fully exhausted by 07:00 AM at the Tirupati SSD counters. TTD also issued 2,000 Divya Darshan (Sreevari Mettu Margam) tokens for the same day’s darshan, which completed by 10:00 AM, indicating strong demand for this footpath‑route.
-
SSD tokens (10,000):
These free time‑slotted Sarvadarshanam tokens help pilgrims avoid the traditional 12–24‑hour waits and instead experience darshan within about 3–6 hours, depending on the slot and crowd. The fact that 10,000 SSDs went within about 2 hours 5 minutes signals moderate‑to‑high demand for this date. -
DD tokens (2,000):
The Sreevari Mettu Divya‑Darshan tokens are a preferred foot‑path fast‑track for many devotees; their being fully booked by 10:00 AM highlights that this route remains popular even on regular‑rush‑days. -
Practical note for devotees:
TTD’s running‑slot page shows that balance tickets for 21‑Apr‑2026 = 0, and tokens are issued on an “on‑first‑come‑first‑service” basis at three main offline counters in Tirupati (Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Bhudevi Complex).
