Understanding the process of securing tickets, the time it takes, and where to enter the queue can help ensure a smooth and divine experience.
To avail the free darshan, devotees can take Time Slot Sarva Darshan Tokens (SSD Tokens) to reduce waiting time in queue lines.

The time it takes for a free darshan at Tirupati can vary significantly based on the day, time, and season of your visit.

After securing your ticket, you need to join the queue at the designated entry points. Follow the signage and instructions provided by the temple staff to ensure you are in the correct line. The queue system is well-organized, with facilities such as resting areas, drinking water, and washrooms available along the way.
