Vaikunta Dwara Darshan 2026:
Every year, Vaikunta Ekadashi is one of the most sacred days for devotees visiting the Tirumala temple. On this day, the special entrance called Vaikunta Dwaram, also known as the “Gate to Heaven,” is opened for devotees. This door remains closed throughout the year and opens only during this auspicious period. Walking through this sacred passage is believed to bring spiritual purity and blessings.
For 2025–26, Vaikunta Ekadashi will be observed on December 30, 2025, and the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has announced a 10-day Vaikunta Dwara Darshan schedule from December 30, 2025 to January 8, 2026. Lakhs of devotees are expected to visit the temple during these ten days, and TTD has prepared updated rules, ticket guidelines, and crowd-management plans for a smooth experience.
TTD has confirmed that the Vaikunta Dwaram will remain open throughout the 10-day period. Devotees will also get free Sarva Darshan without tokens, especially from January 2 to January 8, when pilgrims can enter directly through Vaikuntam Queue Complex-2.
TTD will release limited online quota for paid darshan:
These tickets can be booked only through the official TTD website or TTD mobile app.
From January 6 to January 8, residents of Tirupati, Chandragiri, Renigunta, and Tirumala will receive a special quota.
4,500 tokens per day for local residents
500 tokens per day for Tirumala residents
These will be issued on December 10.
Devotees who donate ₹1 lakh or more can book darshan using the donor application. These tickets will also go live on December 5 at 10 AM.
With such a large number of pilgrims expected, TTD advises visitors to plan their travel and bookings in advance to enjoy a peaceful and blessed Vaikunta Dwara Darshan.
