Tirupati–Tirumala, 23 April 2026 – For darshan on 24 April 2026, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) released 10,000 Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) tokens at 05:00 AM on 23 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 both time‑slotted and footpath‑route darshan.
SSD tokens (10,000)
-
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 10,000 SSDs went within about 2 hours suggests high‑to‑very high demand, typical of busy‑April days in Tirumala.
DD tokens (2,000)
-
The Sreevari Mettu Divya‑Darshan tokens are a preferred foot‑path fast‑track route for many devotees; their being fully booked by 10:00 AM highlights that this route remains consistently popular even on days with a full‑size SSD‑quota.
Practical note for devotees
-
TTD’s running‑slot page shows that balance tokens for 24‑Apr‑2026 = 0, confirming that tokens are issued strictly on a “first‑come‑first‑service” basis at the three main offline counters in Tirupati (Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Bhudevi Complex).
