TTD Online Booking and Login for Darshan, Rooms and Sevas
The way our family books every Tirumala trip on the official TTD website.
Everything for Tirumala starts on one site
The first time we tried to book we landed on a look alike site and almost paid. Since then we only open the official TTD website, ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in, or the TTDevasthanams app. Darshan, rooms and sevas all sit in one login there.
Below is how we do it, the errors we have hit and what to keep ready. Quota dates are on our ticket release dates page.
Quick answer: TTD online booking for darshan, rooms and sevas is done only on the official TTD website ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in or the TTDevasthanams app. For TTD login, enter your mobile number, type the OTP, add pilgrim details with photo ID and pay online.

Fake sites. Many sites copy the TTD look and take money. The real one ends in ap.gov.in. TTD never asks you to pay an agent. Book only on the official TTD website or app.

Questions about TTD online booking
Answers to what our relatives ask us before booking.
How do I do TTD login on the official website?
Open the official TTD website, click Login, enter your mobile number and type the OTP sent to it. First time users fill in name, email and ID details once. The same TTD login works on the TTDevasthanams app.
What can I book with TTD online booking?
You can book the ₹300 Special Entry Darshan, Tirumala and Tirupati rooms, arjitha sevas (lucky dip and online quota), Srivani darshan, senior citizen quota and donations. Everything is paid online and the ticket comes as a PDF.
Is TTD online ticket booking open today?
Bookings open only when TTD releases the monthly quota. Once released, tickets stay open until they sell out, which for ₹300 darshan and rooms is often within minutes or hours. See our TTD ticket release dates page for the usual schedule.
What is the official TTD booking website?
The official site is ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in and the official app is TTDevasthanams. Bookings for darshan, rooms, sevas and donations are made there. We type the address ourselves instead of clicking links.
Can I book for my whole family in one login?
Yes, you can add several pilgrims in one booking, each with their own name, age and ID number. There is a limit on how many people fit in one booking, which TTD shows on the page.
Money was cut but ticket did not come. What now?
Check booking history after some time. If no ticket appears, the bank usually reverses the amount in a few working days. TTD also has a help desk listed on the official site.
Which ID is accepted for TTD booking?
Common photo IDs like Aadhaar, passport, voter ID or driving licence are used. Carry the same original ID at Tirumala that you entered while booking.
Can I cancel or change a TTD booking?
Rules depend on the service and change from time to time. Many darshan tickets cannot be changed. Read the terms on the booking page before you pay.
