Tirupati–Tirumala, 23 April 2026 – For darshan on 23 April 2026, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) released 8,000 Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) tokens at 04:57 AM on 22 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 steady demand for this fast‑track route.
SSD tokens (8,000)
-
These free time‑slotted Sarvadarshanam tokens help pilgrims avoid traditional 12–24‑hour waits and instead experience darshan within about 3–6 hours, depending on the slot and crowd level.
-
The fact that 8,000 SSDs went within about 2 hours 3 minutes suggests moderate‑to‑high demand but slightly lower pressure than days with 10,000–13,000 SSD‑quota.
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 days with lighter SSD‑quota.
Practical note for devotees
-
TTD’s running‑slot page shows that balance tickets for 23‑Apr‑2026 = 0, reinforcing that tokens are issued on an “on‑first‑come‑first‑service” basis at the three main offline counters in Tirupati (Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Bhudevi Complex).
