About the Yadadri Sudarshana Homam

The Sudarshana Homam is a powerful Vedic fire ritual invoking Sri Sudarshana, the divine discus of Lord Vishnu, performed at the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple, Yadadri (Yadagirigutta), Telangana. Devotees seek blessings for protection, health and relief from obstacles. The temple conducts this homam in a group format on designated slots daily, subject to the day’s schedule and festival calendar. The temple’s official online system lists “Sri Sudharshana Narasimha Maha Homam” as a bookable seva.

Current online booking method (official portal)

Where to book:

• Go to the Yadadri/Yadagirigutta Devasthanam official website. From the homepage, use the Bookings/Sevas section (you may also land on the functional services page listing each seva with “Book Now”).

Step-by-step:

1. Open the official portal and select Sevas / Pooja.
2. Choose Sri Sudharshana Narasimha Maha Homam → Book Now.
3. Pick your date & slot (availability varies; some notices on the site indicate booking rules like “cannot be booked before 48 hours”—read the note on the day you book).
4. Fill devotee details exactly as per Government ID; add accompanying spouse if allowed.
5. Pay online; you’ll receive an e-ticket/SMS/e-mail confirmation.
6. Download/print the ticket and carry it with original ID to the reporting counter.
7. Tip: If the official site is slow, retry in a fresh tab or off-peak time. Never use third-party payment links for sevas; rely on the secure payment page of the Devasthanam.

Timings & reporting

• Many reliable guides show the Sudarshana Homam slot around 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM daily; some schedules list ~7:15–9:30 AM. The exact time on your ticket is the final authority—report 15–30 minutes earlier to the designated counter/mandapam.
• General darshan hours for Yadadri run early morning to night (~4:00 AM–9:45 PM); homam timing is within morning pooja bands. Plan your travel to arrive well before the slot.

Price & devotees allowed

• The official services page currently lists Sri Sudharshana Narasimha Maha Homam with a price shown at checkout (seen as ₹1,250 on the fservices view while drafting). If a different amount appears on the payment page, trust the official page—prices get revised periodically.
• Third-party informational pages historically show ₹1,116 and sometimes ₹2,500 with notes like “two people allowed; arrive 15 min early”—these are useful context but may be outdated. Always follow your ticket.

Dress code, items to carry & on-day flow

• Dress code: Traditional/modest. Men: dhoti/pyjama/kurta; Women: saree/salwar/churidar with dupatta (guides echo this standard).
• Documents: Original photo ID matching the booking; the e-ticket (print or phone PDF).
• Reporting: Be at the pooja hall/mandapam gate 15–30 minutes early. Follow the priest’s instructions; homam is conducted in a shared ritual with other devotees.
• Prasadam: After completion, collect prasadam/blessings as guided by staff.

If online slots are not visible today

• Check again later the same day; sevas sometimes reappear due to payment timeouts.
• Visit the temple enquiry/booking counter to ask about on-arrival availability for the next slot/day (subject to that day’s policy and crowd). Some guides historically mentioned counter purchase for same-day homam, but this can change—use in-temple counters only.
• Consider other sevas (Satyanarayana Vratham, Nitya Kalyanam, etc.) if you are flexible with your schedule.

Travel & crowd tips (quick, practical)

• Getting there: Yadadri is ~60 km from Hyderabad via ORR/Bhongir side; plan 90–120 mins by road depending on traffic.
• Parking & approach: Follow temple traffic flow; the hill complex is well signposted.
• With elders/kids: Carry water/ORS, light snacks, and a shawl (mandapam floors can be cool in the morning).
• Phones/bags: As a homam participant, keep phones on silent; bring a small pouch only. Use luggage counters or keep extras at your hotel.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Booking names not matching ID: The gate team will cross-check; mismatches slow you down.
• Assuming yesterday’s price: Prices can change; the amount on the official payment page is final.
• Arriving at darshan queue instead of homam venue: Follow the homam reporting line printed on your ticket/confirmation.
• Late arrival: You may be shifted to a later slot or refused if the ritual has begun.
