Sudarsanam token counters and Sudarsanam token booking

Due to heavy crowds in Tirupati, the devotees had to wait a lot for seeking Darshans of Lord Venkateshwara. Devotees even had to wait even for some couple of hours in the Venkateshwara queue complex to seek Darshans. In order to overcome this big inconvenience caused to the devotees, TTD online booking started Sudarshan Token System. This system was started to minimize the waiting timings for Sarvadarsanam, Special Darshan and other paid darshan/sevas.

Under this system, the devotees’ waiting time in the Venkateshwara queue complex was crashed drastically which helped TTD to curb the tensions of the devotees. A Sudarsanam token is basically a bar coded wrist band that is tied to the devotees’ wrist, providing Darshan timings and the reporting time to him. In this way the pilgrim do not have to stand in the long queue for their turn to come in Venkateshwara queue complex, he/she can easily report at the temple at the time of his/her reporting.

To more update this process, the wrist band token are now replaced by the Biometric tokens. Under these a photograph of the devotee is taken along with their thumb impression and a token is given to them which includes the reporting date and timings for the Darshans. The thumb impression of the pilgrim is verified at Venkateshwara queue complex when he reports there for the Darshan.

The biometric Sudarsanam tokens can be availed at all counters at Tirupati and Tirumala. These are issued only for paid Darshans. For free Darshans both biometric tokens and Sudarsanam tokens are to be taken.

Although it may be noted that the Sudarsanam tokens are issued at the Sudarsanam token counters only that are located at Tirupati and Tirumala. The token shall not be removed even while taking bath.

The locations from where you can avail these tokens are as follows:-

1.1st Choultry, Opp. Railway Station,
