Tirumala, 25 April 2026 – On 25 April 2026, 80,350 pilgrims had darshan at Tirumala, with 36,597 tonsures recorded and hundi kanukalu amounting to ₹3.27 Crore (3.27 CR). The waiting compartments are full, and the outside line has extended up to Silathoranam, indicating a very heavy‑rush day at the temple. The approximate darshan time for Sarvadarshanam (without SSD tokens) is 18 hours, which is longer than the previous day and reflects the surge in pilgrim inflow.
What these numbers really mean
-
80,350 darshanholders is a high‑traffic figure and places the day in the peak crowd range for April 2026, with the temple handling a large volume of free and paid‑darshan devotees.
-
36,597 tonsures means roughly 45% of devotees performed tonsuring, showing continued strong vow‑fulfilment and religious observance.
-
₹3.27 CR hundi is still a strong collection, though slightly lower than the previous day’s 3.69 CR, which is common when the crowd mix shifts toward more general‑darshan pilgrims.
Queue situation and practical implications
-
Silathoranam‑line + 18‑hour wait means devotees without SSD tokens should expect nearly a full day of queue time, especially if they join later in the day.
-
Compared with the 24‑hour wait seen earlier, this is better but still demanding; even a small delay in arrival can add several hours to the total wait.
-
SSD tokens remain the fastest way to reduce the wait, while Special Entry darshan is the best option for devotees seeking a shorter, more predictable visit.
Key takeaway bullets
-
Free Sarvadarshan is about 18 hours on 25.04.2026, so plan for a long wait if you are going without tokens.
-
Queue reaches Silathoranam, which signals a heavy rush and a long walking queue.
-
Carry water, snacks, and medicines if you are joining the general line.
