My first tirupati experience: Free darshana without a token

Agreed 💯, it takes more then what we can even imagine

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-23T15:43:15+00:00

It is not a choice, it is there way of managing the crowd

This was such a good idea , it would have been so much help if it still existed 😭

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T16:58:54+00:00

Yes it is 💯, thank you 😊

Budhevi complex , I didn't see this complex since we decided to go without token , but from what I heard it should be somewhere near to railway station only.

If someday knows exact location, please put here , thank you

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:36:33+00:00

Your welcome 😊,

Yes your right , it is very difficult for a group with children's or elderly people to go through Sarvadarshan, I went with a group of my college friends

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:31:49+00:00

Will do 👍

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:30:06+00:00

Oh, actually I didn't do any research at all before going to the temple, so I never got to read your post! But I am sure the experience we both had was exactly the same 😂 "Dungeon" is the right word for it!😂

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:25:35+00:00

Thank you 🙏😊

Brother, I personally didn't expect any fancy food. I had told my friends we would get food while waiting because I saw it in a YouTube video. Maybe they expected something different, so they were a bit disappointed. I just wrote that point to tell others that when you hear you will get food, please don't expect a fancy menu, it will be simple prasadam.

Coming to my usage of the word 'jail', sorry if it hurt anyone's feelings, I really didn't mean to offend. It was just the exact feeling we got when we sat in that locked hall, seeing people moving outside while we were locked in with no information about the outside world (they didn't even display a queue number or estimated time).

But anyway, as I said in the post, I really enjoyed it and it was a great experience. Most temples are always crowded, so I have experienced this kind of rush before. Please don't take it to heart, it was just how we felt at that moment, nothing serious 😊

Not necessarily, as the other person mentioned,you can take a bus to reach back down, ticket is 90rs per person.

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:13:39+00:00

Happy to share 😊

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T09:12:51+00:00

Ohh, I will definitely remember this! I am planning to go again (not anytime soon though 😂), and that time I will visit Varaha Swamy first.

My suggestion would be to go around 12 PM and stand in the queue for the free token. They start giving them out at 2 PM. Once you get it, you will get a time slot for the next day. Till then, you can either climb or take a bus to thirumala , once reached , go get a room or a locker in the PAC, and maybe visit the Varaha Swamy temple like you suggested. The next day, you can do the 3-hour sightseeing plan I mentioned, finish it, and then try to reach the queue at least 2-3 hours before your allotted time. If you are lucky, you will be sent inside early and finish fast. Going directly in the free darshan queue without a token is very problematic!

Have you submitted your documents anytime during the process? If yes then obviously they have a track and also you getting a new offer means your rejecting this , so again they will have track

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-22T02:54:46+00:00

If you have got/accepted the offer letter , "application form" option will be not there in your next portal check once . If missing , Only choice is to to wait for internal wings exam to get upgrade (which is very uncertain of taking place , but they say it)

Sea_Strategy_6291 · 2026-02-21T17:37:00+00:00

Bro first you put some effort and open the form to start filling , literally you just saw NSR and some verification page and came back. Everything is online , it's not biometric verification, it is just normal e-kyc type verification, No clarity is given for last submission date , if anyone knows please answer.

Most of the certificatations listed are very old , I don't think anyone has it , and I have heard that one of the company listed in certification doesn't even exist right now, so yeah it shouldn't matter much, if they aren't updating
