Embracing Tradition How to Book VVIP Break Darshan at Tirupati the Offline Way

For many devotees, the sacred hills of Tirumala are more than just a pilgrimage destination — they are a symbol of spiritual elevation. While the digital world has made it possible to book TTD darshan online, there's still a revered path that many pilgrims follow offline booking for VVIP Break Darshan. This traditional method offers flexibility, accessibility, and for some, a more personal connection to the divine process.

🌟 What is VVIP Break Darshan?

VVIP Break Darshan is an exclusive slot made available during the early morning temple rituals when there’s a natural "break" in public darshan flow. It allows for a quieter, faster, and spiritually immersive viewing of Lord Venkateswara. This darshan is highly sought-after, especially by NRIs, senior citizens, and devotees seeking a less crowded experience.

One of the most effective ways to access this is through the Srivani Trust Break Darshan scheme.

🪔 What is Srivani Trust?

Srivani Trust (Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana Trust) was established by TTD to collect donations for the construction and maintenance of Hindu temples in remote areas. In return for a ₹10,000 donation per person, devotees become eligible for VIP Break Darshan tickets, paying only ₹500 extra.

Most people opt for online booking, but the offline method remains equally valid and available.

Booking offline is ideal for:

• Devotees who prefer in-person interaction
• Pilgrims who may not have access to digital services
• Last-minute travelers visiting Tirupati without pre-booked darshan

📍 Where to Book:

Offline bookings can be done at TTD's Srivani Donation Counters, located at:

• CRO Office, Tirumala
• Vaikuntam Queue Complex-I
• Designated areas near TTD accommodation centers
