Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams: How to Book Ticket for Darshan Online at tirumala.org

Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Tirupati is known for its Venkateshwara Temple, which is considered to be one of the most popular pilgrimage centres in the country. Tirumala is the home to seven peaks of Tirumala Hills. The Tirupati Balaji temple is one of the busiest pilgrimages for Hindus and hosts a mad pilgrim rush.

Every day, thousands of devotees visit Tirupati Balaji temple in order to receive blessings from Lord Venkateshwara. However, given the number of tourists visiting the temple each day, it becomes difficult to receive blessings due to long queues.
