Who Can Book VIP Break Darshan at Tirumala Temple? Complete Guide for Devotees
Every devotee dreams of having a peaceful and divine darshan of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala Temple. However, due to the massive crowds, getting a quick darshan can be challenging. To make the spiritual experience more convenient for certain devotees and contributors, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) provides a special entry known as the VIP Break Darshan.
But the question most pilgrims have is — Who can book VIP Break Darshan?
Let’s understand the complete eligibility criteria, booking process, and how you too can avail this divine privilege.
What is VIP Break Darshan?
The VIP Break Darshan is a special darshan slot conducted during early morning hours — generally before the regular darshan begins. It allows devotees to have a closer and quicker view of Lord Balaji with minimal crowd and greater spiritual satisfaction.
This exclusive darshan is meant for individuals who:
- Have made significant contributions or donations to TTD trusts such as Srivani Trust.
- Are dignitaries, government officials, or TTD recommendation letter holders.
- Are participants in temple service, cultural, or spiritual programs recognized by TTD.
Who Can Book VIP Break Darshan?
Here are the main categories of devotees eligible for VIP Break Darshan:
1. Srivani Trust Donors
The most common and transparent way for devotees to avail VIP Break Darshan is through a donation to the Srivani (Sri Venkateswara Alaya Nirmana) Trust.
- Devotees donating ₹10,000 or more to the Srivani Trust are eligible for one VIP Break Darshan ticket.
- Donation can be made online through the TTD website or offline at Tirumala donation counters.
- Each donor can use their reference number to book the VIP Break Darshan slot online.
This method is open to all devotees, including Indian citizens and NRIs.
2. TTD Recommendation Letter Holders
In earlier times, VIP Break Darshan was offered to devotees who had recommendation letters from government officials, TTD board members, or religious dignitaries. However, TTD has now restricted this method to only a few authorized categories.
3. Special Guests and Temple Contributors
Certain guests visiting for official religious functions, temple-related projects, or cultural performances approved by TTD may be granted Break Darshan passes as part of their itinerary.
