Planning a January trip to Tirumala? Here is TTD’s 2027 seva, darshan and room quota schedule

Devotees planning a January trip to Tirumala to visit Lord Venkateswara in 2027 have a busy week of online booking ahead. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) announced on 17 October that it will release January’s seva tickets, darshan slots and accommodation in batches from Monday, 19 October, to Saturday, 24 October. All times are Indian Standard Time.

Arjitha sevas by lucky dip

The first window opened at 10 am on 19 October for the electronic lucky dip, or e-DIP, covering the early-morning Suprabhatham, Thomala Seva, Archana and Ashtadala Pada Padmaradhana. Registration stays open until 10 am on Wednesday, 21 October. Devotees picked in the draw must pay between 21 October and noon on 23 October to confirm their tickets, TTD said.

On Thursday, 22 October, the quota for Kalyanotsavam, Unjal Seva, Arjitha Brahmotsavam and Sahasradeepalankara Seva opens at 10 am. Virtual seva tickets, along with their linked darshan slots, follow at 3 pm the same day.

Darshan tokens and rooms

Friday, 23 October, brings three releases: Anga Pradakshina tokens at 10 am, Srivani Trust darshan tickets at 11 am, and at 3 pm the special darshan quota for senior citizens, differently abled devotees and people with chronic illnesses.

The most sought-after release, the Rs 300 Special Entry Darshan, goes live at 10 am on Saturday, 24 October. Accommodation at Tirumala and Tirupati for January opens at 3 pm that afternoon.

For devotees abroad

Telugu families overseas who book for relatives, or plan a winter visit home, should note the time difference. A 10 am IST release is 5.30 am in the UK, where clocks are still on summer time until 25 October, and 12.30 am on the US East Coast on the same date. The 3 pm IST releases fall at 10.30 am in the UK and 5.30 am in New York.

Book only on the official site

TTD has repeated its advice that tickets and rooms should be booked only on its official portal, ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in, and that devotees should steer clear of unauthorised websites offering the same services. Demand for the popular quotas, especially the Rs 300 darshan, is heavy, so it helps to log in and keep pilgrims’ ID details ready before the release time.

The schedule comes as Tirumala wraps up its Navaratri Brahmotsavams, which end with Chakrasnanam at Swami Pushkarini on Vijayadashami, Tuesday, 20 October.
