24-hour-long waiting time for Srivari Darshan
TTD cancels VIP break darshan on September 13
TIRUMALA, SEPTEMBER 11, 2026: An unprecedented rush of devotees has been witnessed in Tirumala on Friday. At present, it is taking approximately 24 hours for Srivari darshan, and queue lines have stretched outside the line at Silathoranam.
As there are consecutive holidays from September 12 to 14, the rush of devotees is likely to increase further.
In view of this, the VIP Break Darshan scheduled for Sunday, September 13, has been cancelled by TTD. Accordingly, the recommendation letters will not be accepted on Saturday, September 12.
The time allotted for the cancelled VIP Break Darshan on Sunday will be utilised to provide darshan to the common devotees.
Therefore, the devotees are requested to take note of this and cooperate with TTD.
On Thursday, a total of 69,771 devotees had darshan of the presiding deity, and 25,888 devotees tonsured their heads. The Hundi collection was Rs 6.94 crore, laddu sale was 4.42 lakhs, and Annaprasadam was served to 2.65 lakh devotees.
