Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has announced the cancellation of VIP Break Darshans during the festive period spanning December 2025 and January 2026.

Devotees are requested to cooperate with TTD’s decision, which is crucial for managing the enormous crowds expected during the Vaikuntha Dwara Darshanam period, Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam, and Radha Sapthami. TTD looks forward to the understanding and support of all pilgrims to ensure a spiritually fulfilling and orderly experience for everyone.
