Among these devotees are thousands of elderly and physically challenged individuals who long for a peaceful darshan experience. Recognizing their devotion and challenges, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has introduced a Special Darshan Quota for Senior Citizens and the Physically Challenged Darshan facility.
✅ What is the TTD Senior Citizen Darshan?
Devotees aged above 65 can benefit from TTD’s special darshan slots designed for a peaceful experience. This service is conducted daily, except during peak festival days and heavy crowd influx.
Key features:
• Separate queue line and hall seating
• Darshan at designated times
• Wheelchairs available on request
• Attendant allowed for those who require support
✅ TTD Darshan for Elders – Who is Eligible?
To qualify for the TTD darshan for elders, the devotee must:
• Be 65 years or older
• Carry valid age proof (Aadhar, Passport, or Voter ID)
• Be physically able to walk short distances or request assistance
Devotees must report at the designated entry point (usually the Sankumitta Entry near the Supatham entrance) well in advance of their allotted darshan slot.
✅ Physically Challenged Darshan: A Thoughtful Initiative
TTD also organizes Physically Challenged Darshan for individuals with physical disabilities or chronic illnesses, offering them priority access with respect and dignity.
Eligibility:
• Devotees with visible physical disabilities
• Those with medical certificates proving chronic illness
