i am from bangalore so cant answer this question
2. i have got the V.V.I.P pass to go into the temple, wht will be the prodcure to go into the temple for suprabhatham seva(early morning)

you have information centres just near the temple.. so yu can ask them in one day advance.. abt the particular darshan yu have, since differents seva have different gates to enter its better you know the exact gate
3.timing for ticket counter for the early morning seva ...?

its a advance booking dont knw. exactly
4.or any other way to see the darshan on the same day itself...?
you can buy a Rs 50 darshan ticket in advance if available for the evening timings

5. how long will it take to finish the darshan and come out of the temple...?
if god is grace full and no VVIP then 2-3 hours for normal darshan, since you have vip pass.. may be still lesser.

6. i have also got a plan to kalakasthi temple, should it be visited before or after the tirupati temple visit...?

its either way no prob, but in kalahasti also take specila darshan, in free darshan you shall get too much tired.. !

Please note that TTD seems to have stopped all VIP (Cellar darshan) for now. Some of the Arjita sevas are also being taken off.

Check the TTD channel on cable tv for more details.

hi nirola.i suggest you to go to the varahaswami temple in tirumala before going to Lord Venkateshwara swamy darshan.also u could go to alavelu mangapuram which has padmavati devi temple (around 5km from tirupati) and govidaraja swamy temple which is near the tirupati railway station.if u still have time you could go to Kalahasti which has an ancient Lord Shiva temple.it is about 1-1.5 hrs from tirupati.there are plenty of buses to kalahasti from the tirpati bus station.there are plenty of local buses to mangapuram or u could hire an auto.

i plan to visit tirupati on vaikunta ekadasi day.just wanted to know if 50rs or 300rs ticket will be available on that day??

bsprasad · Nov 13th, 2009, 12:18

300 rs tickets are issued to individuals who walkin at vaikuntam Q complex. Couple of my friends finished the dharshan in 30 minutes and couple of them came back in 3 hours. It depends on the time. If you chose to go during the kalyanotsavam time (ie between 11 am and 1 pm) you may tend to get late. If you go a little early then there is a high chance that you may come outside quickly.

50rs ticket should be purchased in advance and there is a time specified for dharshan. 50Rs ticket can be purchased at designated counters only and I heard that the counter at the balaji bus terminus in tirupathi is closed. One need to get the tickets only in TTD Arjitham counters in tirumala or in TTD seva centers in major metros like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad in advance.
