TTD Recommendation Letter Process

For the TTD Recommendation Letter Process pilgrims need to follow the below instructions before taking the letters for the Darshan or else for the room booking. Also, the recommendation letter will not be honored if it doesn’t fit into the regulation of the TTD. The rules and regulation around this procedure is unclear and solely depends on the authorities in the TTD.

  • The pilgrims first need to get a recommendation letter from the VIP on their letterheads. The recommendation letters will be accepted only from the People representatives above MLA and also the recommendation letters from state-level officers. The more top people providing the letters the better the chances of getting the Darshan.
  • The pilgrims have to take the letter to the JEO Camp office in Tirumala. The letter should specify the date of the Darshan, the Number of people, and also the remaining details about the pilgrims. The Letter should be written on the official letterhead of the official.
  • The letter can also be taken to the MBC 34 office in Tirumala for further proceedings. From here the officials will be taking the procedure-based rule position on that particular day.
