Tirupati–Tirumala, 29 April 2026 – For darshan on 30 April 2026, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) released its SSD (Slotted Sarva Darshan) tokens quota at 04:58 AM from the three main counters in Tirupati (Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Bhudevi Complex). The total SSD tokens released were 8,000, and the Divya Darshan (Sreevari Mettu Margam) tokens quota was 2,000, both for next‑day darshan only (i.e., tokens issued on 29 April are valid only for 30 April darshan).
-
SSD tokens were fully exhausted by 5:51 AM, i.e., about 53 minutes after release.
-
DD (Sreevari Mettu Margam) tokens were fully exhausted by 6:33 AM, i.e., about 42 minutes after SSD‑closure.
This shows moderate but brisk demand compared with recent 10,000‑SSD‑days; the lower quota still sells out quickly, reinforcing the need to arrive very early.
1. What this quota level means for devotees
-
8,000 SSD tokens at 04:58 AM
-
8,000 is on the lower side of TTD’s usual SSD‑band (8,000–15,000) for April–May days, suggesting TTD expects a moderate‑weekday‑style crowd for 30‑April‑darshan rather than a peak‑weekend‑or‑festival‑day‑rush.
-
The fact that all 8,000 SSDs finished by 5:51 AM (within about 53 minutes) means that anyone arriving after roughly 5:50–6:00 AM at the counters has no realistic chance of getting SSD‑tokens for 30 April darshan that day. They must either:
-
Check TTD’s running‑slot / balance‑ticket page for any remaining 30‑April‑SSD‑running‑slots; or
-
Shift to Divya‑Darshan, 300‑Special‑Entry, Vaikunta‑Dwaram‑only, or plan for a different‑date.
-
-
-
2,000 Sreevari Mettu Margam (DD) tokens
-
In recent April‑2026 days, 2,000 DD‑tokens have usually sold out within 20–30 minutes after SSD‑closure; on 28 April they finished 37 minutes after SSD‑exhaustion. Here, 2,000 DD‑tokens ended by 6:33 AM, i.e., 42 minutes after 5:51 AM, indicating slightly relaxed DD‑demand but still a very short window for devotees.
-
Devotees wanting 30‑April Divya Darshan should therefore:
-
Join the Sreevari Mettu‑queue by 04:30–04:45 AM, and
-
Assume that DD tokens will likely finish within 1–1.25 hours of the 04:58‑release‑time, and not plan to come after 6:00 AM.

2. How to plan for 30‑April‑darshan (practical tips)
-
If you want SSD for 30‑April‑darshan
-
Aim to reach one of the three main counters (Srinivasam, Vishnu Nivasam, Bhudevi Complex) by 04:00–04:15 AM on 29 April 2026.
-
Target early‑morning time‑slots (8:00–11:00 AM) if possible, as they are usually less crowded than late‑afternoon‑slots, and often keep waiting‑time under 4–5 hours.
-
-
If you want Divya Darshan (Sreevari Mettu Margam) for 30 April
-
Join the Sreevari Mettu‑line at 04:00–04:15 AM and be prepared for DD‑tokens to exhaust within about 1–1.25 hours of the 04:58‑release‑time.
-
If you miss DD, check TTD’s running‑slot / balance‑ticket page for any remaining 30‑April‑tokens (SSD or DD), or consider 300‑Special‑Entry / Vaikunta‑Dwaram alternatives.
-
-
If you miss offline tokens
-
Use TTD’s running‑slot / online‑balance‑ticket page to see if any 30‑April‑SSD / DD tickets are still available even after the counters close.

3. Key takeaway bullets (what to do / remember)
-
For 30‑April‑darshan, TTD released 8,000 SSD tokens at 04:58 AM and 2,000 Divya Darshan (Sreevari Mettu Margam) tokens on 29 April; SSD completed by 5:51 AM and DD by 6:33 AM.
-
8,000 SSD is a moderate‑quota‑day, indicating a normal‑weekday‑style‑demand; devotees must still arrive by 04:00–04:15 AM to secure tokens.
-
DD‑tokens (2,000) finish within about 1–1.25 hours after SSD‑release; be in the Sreevari Mettu‑line early and do not rely on late‑morning arrivals.
-
If you miss offline‑tokens, use TTD’s running‑slot / balance‑ticket page and your live‑status‑checker to find SSD/DD balance or alternative routes like 300‑Special‑Entry / Vaikunta‑Dwaram before starting the journey.
