Thousands of devotees visit and throng the Tirupathi every day to have the Darshan of their Lord Venkateswara. There are 6200 rooms available for their stay.
Out of this, 3000 rooms are for booking online. The balance rooms are partly allotted for VIPs and the rooms are given for rents ranging from Rs. 50 to Rs 1000 for devotees who approach directly to the office of TTD.
The devotees generally had to stand in long queues for several hours to get the rooms.
Now, a new system has been introduced to allot rooms to the visiting devotees.
For this procedure, 10 special counters have been opened in the Central Enquiry Office in Tirumalai. The devotees have to apply here giving the details of their names, Aadhar Card number, and cell phone number. The rooms are allotted on a ‘first-come-first-serve’ basis. SMS will be sent to the concerned devotee.
As soon as the SMS is received, the devotee can visit the Central Enquiry Office and get the rooms allotted. TTD has released this information.
