Dwaraka Tirumala Online Room Booking 120 Cottages Phone

Dwaraka Tirumala (“Chinna Tirupati”) offers pilgrim accommodation run by the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Vari Devasthanam under the Andhra Pradesh Endowments Department. The Devasthanam operates a set of choultries, AC cottages and guest houses close to the hill temple, plus low-cost dormitories, and rooms can be reserved online through the official state temple portal.

Dwaraka Tirumala, in Eluru district (formerly West Godavari) of Andhra Pradesh, is home to the self-manifested (Swayambhu) shrine of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy. Because the deity and the setting echo Tirumala, pilgrims fondly call the town “Chinna Tirupati” (Little Tirupati). The temple is managed as a state Devasthanam by the AP Endowments Department, and the same Devasthanam provides the pilgrim lodging described below. This is an information guide only — always confirm current room types, tariffs and availability on the official portal before you travel.

Dwaraka Tirumala accommodation: what the Devasthanam provides

According to the Devasthanam’s own accommodation information, the temple trust has built 8 choultries containing roughly 100 rooms, along with about 15 air-conditioned cottages that were added through donor contributions. All units are fitted with solar water-heating systems and 24-hour uninterrupted power supply. For budget pilgrims, the Devasthanam also runs two dormitories at a nominal charge (reported at around Rs. 10 per person), making a short stay affordable for almost everyone.

The largest single block is the Sri Dharma Apparaya Nilayam, often described as a “120-roomed choultry” — this is the origin of the “120 cottages/rooms” figure many pilgrims search for. Alongside it are several named guest houses and nilayams (for example Srinivasa Nilayam, Sriharivasam, Sudarsanam, Sita Nilayam, Byrraju Nilayam and others) that offer AC rooms and suites for families and groups, plus non-AC choultry rooms such as the Sri Rani Chinnayamma Rao Choultry for economical stays.

Indicative room categories and tariffs

The table below lists the room categories and indicative daily tariffs commonly cited for the Dwaraka Tirumala Devasthanam guest houses. Treat these as a guide only: the Devasthanam revises rates from time to time and adds seasonal or maintenance charges, so the amount payable at booking is whatever the official portal displays on the day. Do not rely on any figure printed on a third-party page as final.

Tariffs above are indicative and unofficial; confirm the live rate for each room on the official Devasthanam / AP temples portal before booking.

How to book a room at Dwaraka Tirumala

The Devasthanam offers both online and on-arrival (counter) booking:

• Online: Rooms can be reserved through the Andhra Pradesh state temple booking system — the official Sri Venkateswara Swamy Vari Devasthanam accommodation portal (tms.ap.gov.in) and the AP Endowments portal aptemples.ap.gov.in. The Devasthanam has also historically offered room booking through MeeSeva centres (onlineap.meeseva.gov.in).
• On arrival: Subject to availability, rooms can be booked at the Devasthanam’s accommodation / reception office after you reach the town. During festivals and weekends demand is high, so advance reservation is advisable.
• At check-in: Carry valid government photo ID for every adult; ID proof is mandatory. Check-in / check-out timing varies by guest house, so verify it when you reserve.

Because availability, categories and prices are managed centrally, the safest approach is to complete your reservation on the official portal rather than through any private reseller.
