Om Namo Venkateshaya
Good morning friends, welcome to Saturday Tirumala Wishesh. If you are in Tirupati or near by to the famous pilgrimage centre, then you will obviously find this information very useful. Today being Saturday, the rush will be certainly more compared to other days. However, as on today morning, the rush reported at Tirumala was moderate.
As many as 12 queue compartments are filled with devotees. Let us briefly know how much time it's taking for each darshan
-
For sarva darshanam (free darshan) the expected time to enter sanctum sanctorum is seven hours
-
For pratyeka pravesha darshanam (Rs. 300 ticket) the expected time to have darshan of Tirumala Balaji is three hours
-
To those who take pedestrian path to reach Tirumala can have darshan for free through divya darshanam. It's taking two hours to seek blessings of this Lord in this queue line
Today's special rituals:
Sri Venkateshwara Swamy Teppotsavams will be taking place from today. The annual celebrations will go on for the next five days. To those wishing to take part in Teppotsavam can take special arjitha tickets from the counters. These tickets will be issued from 11 am and each ticket cost would be Rs. 500. Since only 200 tickets are going to be issued at central reservation office, only those who go first would get the tickets. Notably, devotees without arjitha tickets can have glimpse of Teppotsavam.
That's all for today friends. Catch you all soon with more updates on Tirumala.
