TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy said that TTD is making extensive arrangements for providing Srivari Vaikuntadwara Darshan to as many devotees as possible from December 23 to January 1.

He briefed the media on arrangements...

•  Special queue lines, barricades, drinking water, coffee, tea, snacks will be provided at these counters.


•  QR code boards will be displayed at all these counters for the benefit of devotees.


•  With the coordination of district authorities, traffic and civil police security arrangements were also made.


•  Since limited rooms available in Tirumala, devotees shall book rooms in Tirupati itself during these festive days.


•  Only devotees with tickets or tokens will be allotted rooms.


•  As in past break Darshan facility is provided to protocol VIPs in person in limited numbers only. During these ten days no recommendation letters for break Darshan will be accepted.


•  Devotees with tokens and tickets alone shall be allowed for Srivari Vaikuntadwara Darshan at Tirumala 24 hours ahead only.


•  Devotees without tokens could reach Tirumala but can not get Darshan. They can visit other places in Tirumala viz. Papavinasanam, Akasa Ganga etc.


•  Devotees with tokens or tickets should come for Srivari Darshan at a specified date and time only.


•  Devotees should plan Tirumala only after ascertaining the availability of tokens through SVBC channel and TTD website.


Special programs 


•  Sri Malayappa Swami and His consorts will ride Swarna ratham on Mada streets on Vaikunta Ekadasi day  between 9am and 11am.


•  On Vaikunta Dwadasi day on December 24, Chakra Snanam will be organised between 4.30am and 5.30 am.


•  On Vaikunta Ekadasi day Vishnu Sahasranama Parayanams will be observed at the Nada Neeranjanam platform between 6am and 7am and on the same day being Gita Jayanti, Bhagavad Gita Akhanda Parayanam will also be recited between 12noon and 4pm.


Puranic significance of Vaikunta Dwara Darshan 


•  As per Puranic legend one day duration in Vaikunta of Sri Maha Vishnu is considered as one year on the Earth. Similarly, the 12 hours of daytime in Vaikunta is 6 months in earth also termed as Uttarayana and 12 hours of nightfall in Vaikunta is six months of Dakshinayana on Earth.


•  Likewise 120 minutes in Vaikunta is 30 days on the Earth known as Dhanur Masa. In that one day He provides darshan to all the deities for 40 minutes which is equal to 10 days of Vaikunthadwara Darshanam on the Earth.


The devotees should note that all these ten days are equally important.
