Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh – In a welcome move to enhance the experience of devotees visiting the world-renowned Tirumala temple, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has inaugurated a brand-new Srivani Darshan Ticket Centre. This development aims to address the persistent issue of long queues and improve the overall ticket issuance process for devotees seeking Srivani Darshan.
Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and modern amenities, the newly established ticketing centre is expected to streamline operations and significantly reduce waiting times. The move comes in response to growing concerns over overcrowding and the discomfort caused by extended wait periods, particularly during peak pilgrimage seasons.
According to temple authorities, the centre has been designed keeping in mind the needs of senior citizens, differently-abled individuals, and large family groups. With the integration of digital systems and well-organized counters, the process of issuing Srivani Darshan tickets is now more efficient, transparent, and hassle-free.
The Srivani Darshan scheme, which allows devotees to make a contribution to the Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana Trust (SRIVANI), has gained popularity among pilgrims who wish to support temple construction while also receiving privileged darshan access. With increasing demand for these tickets, the need for a dedicated centre had become essential.
Temple authorities said they are confident that the new facility will greatly benefit worshipper and help ease congestion at the current ticket booths. “Our goal is to provide a comfortable and spiritually uplifting experience for all pilgrims. This facility is a step forward in that direction,” stated a TTD spokesperson.
Devotees and nearby residents have applauded the move, describing it as a much‑needed enhancement that underscores the temple board’s dedication to improving facilities and ensuring a better experience for visitors. The launch of the new Srivani Darshan Ticket Centre marks another milestone in TTD’s broader efforts to modernize temple infrastructure while preserving the sanctity and serenity of Tirumala.
With millions of pilgrims visiting Tirumala every year, such measures are crucial in maintaining order and ensuring that faith and devotion are met with thoughtful and efficient service.
