TTD releases online darshan tickets, Arjitha sevas and rooms in monthly batches, and the slots everyone wants (Vaikuntha Ekadasi, Brahmotsavam days and any weekend) can disappear within minutes. This section explains how the release cycle works, which ticket types open when, and the habits that decide whether you get a slot.
Last verified: 31 October 2026, against TTD’s own quota notices on news.tirumala.org (the January 2027 schedule, TTD notice, 17 October 2026). TTD can move a release by a few days, so always confirm the current month’s notice before you book. Book only on ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in.
How the Monthly Quota Release Works
The quota for a travel month is released about three months ahead, over roughly the 18th to the 24th of the release month, in a fixed order. For example, the January 2027 quota was released from 19 to 24 October 2026, and the July 2026 quota from 18 to 24 April 2026. TTD publishes each month’s schedule a few days before the first release: the December 2026 schedule came out on 12 September for a 19 September start, and the January 2027 schedule on 17 October for a 19 October start.

Release Pattern by Quarter
January to March
Released from October to December of the previous year. The pressure dates in 2026 were the Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan window, 30 December 2025 to 8 January 2026 (Vaikuntha Ekadasi itself fell on 30 December), and Ratha Saptami on 25 January 2026 (TTD, 10 December 2025).
April to June
Released from January to March. Watch Sri Rama Navami, the mid-April holiday weekends and the school-holiday weeks of May and June.
July to September
Released from April to June. The hardest quarter in most years because of the Salakatla Brahmotsavam (15 to 23 September in 2026); rooms and Special Entry Darshan for Garuda Vahanam day go first.
October to December
Released from July to September. In 2026 the Adhika Masa brought a second, Navaratri Brahmotsavam (12 to 20 October), which pulled extra October demand. November is usually easier before the year-end rush.
Booking Habits That Work
- Create and fully verify your TTD account days before the release, with profile details saved. The first minute is no time to be waiting for an OTP.
- Be logged in a few minutes before 10:00 AM IST; popular slots can go in the first minute.
- Use the fastest, most stable connection you have.
- Pre-save the names, ages and ID numbers of everyone travelling, and your payment method.
- If your first attempt fails, check again later in the day, because unpaid or released slots can come back.
- Book only on the official portal, never through a third-party reseller.
On peak release days demand far exceeds supply: TTD has said about six lakh users may try to book at once against roughly 2.69 lakh Rs. 300 tickets, using a virtual queue, and a “Slot Unavailable” message usually means that slot’s quota is already filled (TTD, 26 September 2026).
Where to Confirm the Exact Dates
Watch news.tirumala.org for the monthly schedule notice, the booking portal at ttdevasthanams.ap.gov.in, and TTD’s official social media handles.
Common Questions
Can I book further ahead than the current release? No. Each travel month opens only on its announced release days, roughly three months ahead; later months are not open early.
What if I miss the release? Check the portal again over the following days; slots that are not paid for, or are released, can reappear. Otherwise consider Sarva Darshan or a seva with darshan.
Can I book for someone else? Yes, but you enter each pilgrim’s name and ID at booking, and each person must carry that ID at darshan.
Do quota rules change? Yes, TTD adjusts times and quotas from time to time. That is why this page is dated; the TTD notice for your month always wins.
