TTD Senior Citizen Darshan 2025 :Bookings,Darshans & Ticket

Senior citizen darshan is a facility provided by TTD for people who are aged 65 years and above. This darshan is specially made so that old people can get the blessings of Lord Venkateswara without much walking or standing in queue. It is held daily in two batches and there is proper seating and help provided by temple staff. It is also completely free and very peaceful compared to general darshan.

This darshan is arranged at Vaikuntham Queue Complex-2 in Tirumala. The staff will take small groups of elders inside the temple, giving them enough time to pray comfortably. It is a great way to visit the temple if age or health makes regular darshan difficult.

Who Can Apply for Senior Citizen Darshan

The basic rule is that the person must be 65 years old or more. Age proof is compulsory at the time of entry. Acceptable ID proofs include Aadhaar card, PAN card, Voter ID, Passport, etc.

Also, if the senior person needs help walking, they can bring one assistant or helper with them. But that helper should also carry an ID proof and follow the dress code. People who have had any type of TTD darshan in the last 90 days are not eligible to apply again immediately.
