How to Book Tirupati Senior Citizen Darshan
Booking this category of darshan is handled through the official Tirumala Tirupati
Devasthanams (TTD) portal. TTD's current guidance states that a senior citizen must have
completed 65 years of age. Quota, eligibility and access remain subject to TTD.
Here is a step-by-step guide to the booking process, based on the information available from
TTD:
Step 1: Access the Official TTD Website
Use the official TTD online
services portal: https://ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in/.
Important: Avoid third-party
websites and travel agents that claim to book these tickets.
The official TTD website is the only authorized platform.
Step 2: Register or Log In
You will need to have a registered
account on the TTD website.
If you don't have one, you'll need to
register using a mobile number and an OTP (One-Time Password) for verification.
Step 3: Check for Quota Release
The quota is released online by TTD
according to its current announcement and booking schedule.
The current TTD guidance reports a
quota of 1,000 per day, but availability can change.
You must book the tickets on a
"first-come, first-served" basis when the quota is released.
Step 4: Select the Darshan Date and Time
Once logged in, navigate to the
"Special Darshan for Physically Disabled and Aged" section under Pilgrim Services.
Select the desired date for your
darshan. Available dates will be highlighted.
Choose the time shown in the
current TTD booking interface. The current TTD category page lists 3:00 PM Monday–Saturday;
verify the live schedule before travelling.
Step 5: Fill in Pilgrim Details and Upload Documents
You will need to enter the details of
the senior citizen. The age must be 65 years or above.
The current TTD category page lists
Aadhaar as the mandatory senior-citizen document. Follow the live TTD requirements rather
than assuming alternative IDs will be accepted.
The current TTD guidance permits the
spouse as attendant where applicable. Follow the live booking instructions for the spouse's
details and documents.
Step 6: Complete the Booking
After filling in all the required
details and uploading the documents, you can complete the booking.
Any applicable charge or complimentary
component is determined by TTD and should be confirmed in the current booking flow.
Once the booking is successful, you
will receive a confirmation, and you can download the darshan ticket. It's recommended to
print this ticket.
Important Rules and Guidelines
Proof of Age: The original ID
proof submitted during the online booking process must be carried on the day of darshan. It

notice.
Frequency: Booking frequency
and rebooking restrictions are subject to the current TTD rules; confirm before making a new
