Tirumala is preparing for Vaikunta Ekadasi, a significant festival on December 30. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will prioritize common devotees by suspending special darshan tickets for the first three days, allowing only Sarva Darshan. Approximately 1.76 lakh devotees with pre-booked tokens are expected. Nearly 20 hours of darshan are scheduled for Ekadasi day. Special Entry and Srivani ticket holders can have darshan from January 2. The temple complex is decorated with flowers, and crowd management measures are in place.
