How to book fast on the day (works for every drop)
Step 1 — Prepare your account: Create/login to your TTD account and verify mobile/email. Store Aadhaar/Passport details for all pilgrims in profile to speed up checkout.
Step 2 — Set reminders: Add calendar alerts for every TTD March 2026 Quota drop above. Keep a desktop and a charged phone with good data.
Step 3 — Be on the page five minutes early: For e-DIP, open Seva → e-DIP; for ₹300 SED, open Darshan → Special Entry Darshan; for Rooms, open Accommodation. Refresh at release minute.
Step 4 — Pay without friction: Prefer UPI or card with OTP ready. If payment fails, retry once; if the slot vanishes, switch dates instantly.
Step 5 — Save confirmations: Download receipts/SMS. Your receipt shows reporting time and entry gate (e.g., Supadham for many sevas). Carry original IDs.
What each category means (quick explainer)
e-DIP for early-morning arjitha sevas
This is an electronic lucky dip for sevas with very limited seats: Suprabhatam, Thomala, Archana, Ashtadala. Register during the window and wait for results; if allotted, pay within the payment window (20–22 Dec, till 12 PM).
Daytime arjitha sevas and utsavams
Kalyanam, Unjal (Dolotsavam), Arjitha Brahmotsavam, Sahasra Deepalankarana, Vasanthotsavam, Teppotsavam are usually first-come online on release minute. These sell out quickly—target weekday dates first.

Anga Pradakshina tokens
A limited daily ritual (early morning circumambulation) with strict dress/entry rules; tokens go live as per schedule. Watch the portal notice.

Editor’s Note — Tirumala Update, April 2026
As of April 2026, Tirumala continues to be among the world’s busiest pilgrimage destinations, with daily pilgrim footfall typically ranging between 60,000 and 90,000 on ordinary weekdays and climbing well past 1 lakh on weekends, school holidays, and festival periods. Sarva Darshan (free) queue wait times have generally hovered between 8 and 24 hours depending on the day, while Special Entry Darshan (SED) slots continue to move considerably faster. The TTD Board, under the Government of Andhra Pradesh, continues to review operational policies, tender processes, and temple administration matters periodically.
