In a major digital upgrade for devotees, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has officially launched a cashless donation system via kiosk machines across the Tirumala temple premises. Pilgrims can now donate to the Lord using UPI apps or QR codes, without the need for physical cash or coins.
This initiative supports digital India goals and improves transparency, ease, and safety for devotees and the temple administration.

The donation kiosk is a touch-screen machine installed at multiple points in the temple where devotees can:
- Select the amount they wish to donate
- Scan a QR code shown on the screen
- Pay instantly using UPI apps like PhonePe, GPay, Paytm, BHIM, etc.
- Receive a receipt with donation details on screen or by email (if entered)
📍 Where Are These Kiosks Installed?
As of May 2025, TTD has deployed these donation kiosks at:
- Vaikuntam Queue Complex (VQC 1 & 2)
- Sri Bedi Anjaneya Swamy Temple Zone
- Srivari Padalu Footpath Entry (Alipiri)

🧾 More kiosks will be added at TTD accommodation centers and major donor halls soon.
