WANT TO PLAN TIRUMALA BALAJI DARSHAN WITH FAMILY? Read this Fully, Share Widely !!!
- If you are planning Tirumala Darshan, it is best to take ₹300 Special Entry Darshan ticket in advance. The booking gets live on the official TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) between 23rd & 25th of every month.
- As I write this post, on June 24th, 10 AM, booking for the Sep month will open. Bookings get done in a few minutes, but it gives you enough time if you login by 10 AM. Worth it.
- I would recommend you take the afternoon slot (2 PM or 3 PM) so that it works out well as per the plan I am going to lay out. Also Tues & Wed are the least crowded.
- Once the ticket date and time is fixed, book your transportation from your city to Tirupati. I would recommend to stay in Tirupati for a night. There are many hotels. Choose something near Alipiri Main Road.
- If your darshan is on Tuesday 3 PM, I would recommend you reach Tirupati on Monday afternoon. Check in to a nice hotel and take good rest. There are some nice food places nearby. Uber works well. I have used the Auto Facility in Tirupati and they accept UPI.
- If you plan to walk up by the Alipiri Route, start on Tuesday morning (assuming Tuesday is the darshan) by 5 AM. Keep your footwear in the hotel itself. Take only some cash with you and your Ticket printout. Keep Original Aadhar with you as well. Take your Smartphone which you can deposit in Tirumala on top.
- The idea is to walk up with as minimum items as possible. However if you want to take a bag, you can send it up using the Free Luggage Counter on the Base of Alipiri Steps. You can collect the same on the top. But I would recommend you travel light. If some elders are coming by bus to the top, they can take that bag with them as well (I have written about the bus facility later in this post)
- There are 3550 steps and you can do it in 3-5 hours depending on your speed and health conditions. There are enough refreshments on the way, good toilet facilities. So don't worry. You can walk all the way up to Tirumala.
- Now, if you cannot walk (especially for elders and seniors), they can take a bus from Alipiri Bus Stand near Bhudevi complex. There are plenty of buses, so don't worry. They need not walk up. The bus take less than an hour to reach the top. They can wait for you there until you get there by walk (assuming that the person reading is planning to walk up).
- If you start the walk by 5 AM, you will be on top by 10 AM. Go to the Annaprasada Bhavan. Free Prasadam is served for lakhs of devotees. Ask your elders to have their bhojan there which runs until 10.30 AM. You can join them for the same.
- If few have taken bus and some of you are walking, you can regroup either in the Annaprasada Bhavan or the Varaha Swamy Temple. I am saying this so that you won't get lost. These landmarks are easy to identify.
- Once you have taken the Prasadam, you can take a dip in the Swamy Pushkarini. Just sprinkle some water. If you want to take a quick bath, you can do so. But then, you will have to carry some clothing etc.
- Now, stand in the queue to have darshan of Varaha Swamy. It might take some time but very very powerful.
- It should be post 12 PM by now. You can have a quick Bhojan again in Annaprasada Bhavan if you want. Else proceed to the ₹300 queue. You can go there a bit earlier than your slot. Stand for darshan.
- You need to strictly follow Indian dress code in the complex. You can find about it online. I recommend wearing proper Indian traditional clothes (they wont allow otherwise)
- Your darshan should take anywhere between 5 to 8 hours depending on the crowd.
- Once darshan is over, proceed to laddu counter. Using your token you can get your laddus and with aadhar, some additional laddus. Keep change for taking laddu bag.
- Have Bhojan again and then take the bus to Tirupati. Rest and leave the next day !!!
Hope this helps. Share Widely to benefit all.

The results of the recent state elections have been dramatic by any measure.
But for me, this image will remain the most unforgettable outcome of the elections.
More than 166,000 votes were cast between the two leading candidates in this constituency in Tamil Nadu.
And history was changed by just one vote.
This image should be shown in every school in the country & perhaps around the world.
So that every child understands that when they grow up, the greatest power they may possess is the Power of One.
The power of their one vote.
Gurgaon temperatures in April are already hitting 43°C.
During the rains, roads get submerged.
In winter, the air feels like smoking a cigarette.
Meanwhile, real estate is selling for ₹10–20 crore like it’s nothing.
There is a very big gap between livability and pricing. Something really weird.
She's Esha Roy. Her husband was brutally murdered allegedly by TMC goons for being BJP Karyakarta. She could've just lied low & abandon working for BJP to not risk her life & izzat. But she didn't & is still working for ideology.
BJP's win will be due to endless Karyakartas like her. 🙏
"A mother's daughter became a doctor but TMC's 'maha jungle raj' stole her from the mother.
BJP made that mother a candidate in polls."

Amit Shah: "Yesterday's roadshow was so jampacked that Had I been a neutral voter, I would've GONE BACK HOME, but voted BJP 😂
— But an elderly lady was standing against odds, I met her, and that blessing will stay throughout my life."
He is really enjoying his time in Bengal
Game of bluster, bombast and brinkmanship by both sides seems to be going out of control. Both sides seem to be overplaying their hand and waiting for the other to blink first.
If the talks don’t happen, then either all hell breaks loose; or the tense stand-off of a double blockade continues until one side blinks or buckles under pressure. Either way, brace for the economic fallout and dislocation, disruption.
If talks happen, even those will only delay the war, not bring the peace. Bottom-line: everyones going to get screwed.
An International Appeal 🙏
Under the notorious rule of Muhammad Yunus, Islamists, jihadists and Hindu-hating gangs in Bangladesh succeeded in getting Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari arrested on trumped-up sedition charges on November 25, 2024. Despite international outcry, the monstrous Yunus regime did not release this #Iskcon monk. He is suffering from numerous physical complications and facing extreme cruelty in the prison.
I am humbly calling upon the international community, rights groups and media to please raise the voice demanding release of Shri Chinmoy Krishna Brahmachari.
