TIRUMALA, JULY 19, 2026: Ensuring hassle-free allotment of accommodation without inconvenience, TTD has streamlined the room allotment system through its Sub-Enquiry Offices.
This system replaces the earlier practice of pilgrims waiting for long hours at the Central Reception Office (CRO), making the process faster and more convenient.
Pilgrims should first register at the Central Reception Office (CRO) in Tirumala. The CRO opens daily at 5.00 a.m., and registrations are being accepted as long as rooms are available.
Pilgrims must submit their original Aadhaar Card or a photocopy, along with their mobile number, at the registration counter.
Registration is completed through the Face Recognition System.
Pilgrims may choose their preferred room category at the counter.
Category A: Rs.50 & Rs.100 rooms
Category B: Rs.1,000 rooms
After registration, an acknowledgement slip will be issued. Drinking water, Annaprasadam and toilet facilities are available near the allotment queue lines for the convenience of pilgrims.
Guidelines for Room Allotment
- Applicant must be 21 years or above.
- A person who has been allotted a room cannot get another room for the next 30 days.
- Only one member from each family should stand in the queue.
- Rooms will not be allotted to a single individual or unmarried persons.
After registration, the registration number will be displayed on the display boards in the CRO. Once the number appears, pilgrims will receive an SMS within 15 minutes with the allotted room details.
If the SMS is not received despite the registration number appearing on the display board, pilgrims can scan their acknowledgement slip at the Kiosk Machines installed at the CRO to view the room details.
Pilgrims should then visit the respective Sub-Enquiry Office and pay the room tariff only through online payment modes such as PhonePe, Google Pay, UPI, Credit Card or Debit Card. Room keys will be issued after successful payment.
