There is chaos in the sale of Srivani Trust Darshan tickets in Tirumala. Problems are being faced at the newly established Srivani Trust Darshan Ticket Center in front of Annamayya Bhavan from the Additional EO office. TTD provides darshan of the Lord at 4:30 pm to Srivani donors. At the same time, TTD has said that it will sell tickets to Srivani donors on any given day at 10:30 am.
However, due to the high demand for Srivani tickets, devotees are lining up from the previous night. In view of the rush, officials are selling tickets at dawn from time to time. Due to the heavy rush of devotees on Friday night, devotees entered the queue by sneaking through the vigilance staff. Some devotees protested in front of Annamayya Bhavan as they could not get their tickets.
Vigilance officials who immediately reached there immediately gave them a warning and sent the devotees back. It is known that TTD has made several changes to Srivani tickets from this month to provide darshan of Srivari on any day. Earlier, darshan on Srivani tickets took 3 days.
With this, TTD has made changes so that devotees who have bought tickets on any day can have darshan on the same day. This started from August 1. Devotees who have bought Srivani Trust darshan tickets offline in the morning will have to report at Vaikuntam Q Complex-1 at 4.30 pm on the same day.
Srivani tickets are being issued on a first-come, first-served basis from 10 am in Tirumala, 800 tickets are being issued, and 200 tickets are being issued at Renigunta airport. Another 500 tickets are being issued online. Devotees who have already bought tickets online are being given darshan only at 10 am.
Devotees will have to donate Rs. 10,000 to TTD for Srivani tickets. Tickets are being issued at the Srivani Ticketing Center opposite the Annamayya Bhavan. On the other hand, the rush of devotees continues in Tirumala. It takes 24 hours for devotees without tokens to have all-day darshan of Srivari.
Devotees are waiting till the Gogarbham reservoir to have all-day darshan of Srivari. On Friday, 77,043 devotees had darshan of Srivari. Similarly, 41,859 devotees offered talaneelas to Srivari. The income from the Srivari Hundi was Rs. 3.53 crores.
