Are you an NRI planning to visit Tirupati for the divine darshan of Lord Venkateswara? Worried about the long queues and limited time during your India trip? With Padmavathi Travels, you can now enjoy a comfortable NRI Darshan experience with exclusive car rental packages from Bangalore or Chennai — designed to make your pilgrimage smooth, quick, and spiritually fulfilling.

What is NRI Darshan in Tirupati?

The TTD NRI Darshan is a special privilege given to Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCI cardholders). This system allows devotees from abroad to have faster darshan access through a dedicated entry gate at Vaikuntham Queue Complex-2, avoiding the long ₹300 Special Entry Darshan lines.

 Why Choose NRI Darshan?

Here’s why thousands of NRIs prefer the TTD NRI Darshan:

1.  Quicker Darshan Access – Entry is usually completed within 45–90 minutes, much faster than the ₹300 Special Entry queue.

2.  Simple Documentation – Only a valid foreign passport or OCI card with a recent arrival stamp is required.

3.  Family Friendly – Immediate family (spouse, children) can accompany the NRI with valid Indian ID proof.

4.  Daily Timings – NRI Darshan is available daily between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM (subject to TTD schedule).

5.  Hassle-Free Process – Assistance available for verification, entry, and queue guidance at the temple complex.
