About Us
A few devotees of Srivari, sharing what we learned on the way to Tirumala.
Made by devotees, for devotees
We are a few families who have been visiting Tirumala for years. This site shares what we learned on those trips, so your darshan of Lord Venkateswara goes smoothly.
We made the mistakes, so you don't have to
Wrong queue, missed ticket dates, no room late at night. On our early trips we got almost everything wrong. Friends kept asking us for tips, so we started writing them down in one place.
"The few seconds in front of Srivari should be calm. Not spent worrying about tickets."
Simple, honest and devotee first
Plain words
Written the way you would explain it to your parents, without confusing terms.
Checked with care
We match details with TTD notices and our own visits before we share them.
TTD comes first
For every booking we send you to the official TTD website, app or counter.
What we do
- Explain darshan, rooms and travel step by step
- Update pages when TTD changes a rule or timing
- Fix any mistake you point out to us
What we never do
- Sell tickets, rooms or seva bookings
- Ask for Aadhaar, OTP or bank details
- Claim to be TTD or speak for the temple
Things people ask about us
A few questions we hear often from devotees who find this site.
Is this the official TTD website?
No. Tirupati Balaji is a fan website made by devotees of Lord Venkateswara. We are not connected to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams or any government office. For anything official, please visit the official TTD website.
Can you book darshan tickets or rooms for me?
No, we do not book anything for anyone. Darshan tickets, rooms and sevas can be booked only on the TTD website, the TTDevasthanams app or at TTD counters in Tirupati and Tirumala. If someone offers to book for you using our name, please do not pay them.
Who writes the pages on this site?
A small group of devotees and families who have visited Tirumala many times, on foot, by bus and by car. We write from our own trips and from what other devotees share with us, then check the details with TTD notices before publishing.
How do you keep the information up to date?
We follow TTD news, press notes and notices regularly. When a timing, quota or rule changes, we update the page and change the date at the bottom. If you see something old, tell us and we will check it again.
Why should I trust the information here?
Everything is written by people who have stood in the same queues and booked the same tickets. We never guess timings or prices. Where details change often, we say so clearly and point you to the official TTD source.
Do you work with travel agents or ticket sellers?
No. We have no tie-up with any agent, tour operator or ticket seller. Nobody outside TTD can get you a faster darshan, so please be careful of anyone who claims they can.
Do you also cover temples near Tirupati?
Yes. Along with Tirumala we have pages on Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple in Tiruchanur, Srikalahasti and Kanipakam, plus places to visit around Tirupati, so you can plan the full trip in one place.
I found a mistake on a page. What should I do?
Please write to us from the contact page or at info@tirupatibalaji.org. Tell us the page and what looks wrong. We check every message and fix confirmed mistakes as soon as we can.
