TTD resolves to ensure maximum darshan access to common pilgrims for Vaikuntha Ekadasi

In a landmark decision, the TTD Trust Board has resolved to allocate a staggering 164 hours of the total 182 darshan hours during the 10-day Vaikuntha Ekadasi festival period for the benefit of the ordinary pilgrims.

The board’s decision, taken at a high-level meeting on Tuesday under the chairmanship of B.R. Naidu, would reshape the darshan period beginning December 30 and lasting till January 8.

The board had resolved to issue only Slotted Sarva Darshan (SSD) tokens to the devotees on the first three days, i.e. December 30 and 31, 2025, and January 1, 2026. There would be no issuance of ₹300 Special Entry Darshan (SED) and SRIVANI tokens on these days.

Devotees desirous of having darshan on the first three days could register their names online in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada languages on the TTDs website, mobile app, and WhatsApp from November 27 to December 1.
