HISTORICAL FACTS: Ttd exploring ways to avoid physical queue lines in sarva darshanam | History Defined

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy has said that the TTD is exploring ways and means to avoid the presence of physical queue lines in the sarva darshanam of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala.

Though the TTD to a major extent has been successful in obviating physical queue lines in the Special Entry Darshan (SED) system, under which it provides over 25,000 tickets of ₹300 each every day by espousing the virtual (online) mode, it finds itself pushed against the wall when it comes to sarva darshanam meant for ordinary devotees.

The TTD has already introduced Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) for the benefit of ordinary pilgrim, wherein the pilgrim is asked to report at Vaikuntam complex at the appropriate time as mentioned on the darshan token.
