If time permits visit other Vishnu temples nearby: Sri Govindaraja Perumal in Tirupati, Sri

might visit Sri Kalahasthi temple also (40 km), an ancient Shiva Temple where the Raghu-Kethu
combine is believed to solve many astrological problems such as Kaalasarpa Dosha, Infertility
etc.

The devotees who have booked any of these Arjitha sevas should report before 8 pm on the
previous day of their prescribed seva option at the MBC-34 (Arjita Seva ticket counter) at
Tirumala without fail. If not, they will be treated as absentees and such slots will be allotted to
devotees under the current booking through randomised numbering system wef March 2012 (as
per the TTD Press Release). This means that we must plan to be in Tirumala at least by 7 pm
the previous day.
Arjitha Seva Counter No: 0877-226-3277, 227-7777 Extn: 3679 to know if seva times have
changed or any seva has been cancelled.

(1) Current Booking (at Vijaya Bank Counter, opp.VQC-1 in Tirumala) from 8 am on the
previous day.

(5.2) LOTTERY FOR SEVA: Jaideeps experience on 8.6.12: There is a lottery system now
available for some early morning sevas. TTD now offers a few slots for Thomala seva, Archana
etc that is offered to the general public via a daily lottery system for next mornings sevas. To try
your luck with this lottery system, go to the Vijaya Bank counter opposite to the C.R.O and
register anytime between 11 am & 5 pm. The draw happens at 5 pm and the lucky few for the 510 slots are chosen on a daily basis; they have 3 hours to pay the seva fee (8 pm) and go for
the seva next morning

Time to Ascent and descent


TTD has introduced a minimum time limit for the ascent (28 mts) and descent of private vehicles
from the entry toll gate. If you arrive early, it means you have been speeding and hence you
need to pay a fine near the temple and bring back the challan before the car is let inside causing
unnecessary delay. Instead drive slowly and take 30-35 minutes to go up and come down the
Ghat Road.

Dharma Radhams
Free Bus Service, operated by TTD in Tirumala, known as Dharma Radhams, that pass
through cottages, choultries, temples and other places in Tirumala every 3 minutes at
prescribed timings.
