Step 4 — Collect Prasadam (Laddus)
Laddu Counters 1–45, Tirumala Hill
🎁FREE Laddu
1 laddu per person with your darshan ticket — free at any counter (1–45).
🛒Buy Extra
Buy up to 6 laddus total per darshan ticket. ₹50 per laddu.
🪪No Darshan Ticket?
Without a ticket you can still collect up to 2 laddus per person via Aadhaar at ₹50 per laddu.
📋 How to Collect
- Proceed to any Laddu Counter (1–45) after darshan
- Show your darshan ticket / QR at the counter window
- Collect 1 free laddu per person — extra laddus at ₹50 each (max 6 total)
- Without a ticket, show Aadhaar — buy up to 2 per person at ₹50 each
- Carry your own bag/cover, or buy a ₹5 biodegradable cover / ₹10–₹15 bag at the counter
🏪 Counters 1–45 — Tirumala Complex
All 45 prasadam counters are located within the Tirumala temple complex, near the exit from the darshan queue. Counters are open round the clock (24 hours). Visit soon after darshan to avoid long queues at the counters.
💡 Laddu Tips
⏰Avoid counters immediately after a darshan batch exits — brief 20-min wait reduces the counter queue significantly.
🧾Keep your darshan ticket / QR receipt safe until you collect laddus — you need it for the free one.
🌡️Laddus stay fresh for 2–3 days at room temperature. Keep cool & consume within this period.
✈️Laddus are allowed in both cabin & check-in baggage on flights — they are solid food items.
👜Carry your own cover/bag from home. Biodegradable covers (₹5) and bags (₹10–₹15) also available at counter if needed.
