Darshan bookings
Darshan is run by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD); ticket types, slots and rules change, so they are to be confirmed before you travelDress
TTD's published dress code asks for traditional dress, such as dhoti or pyjama with an upper cloth for men and saree or churidar with an upper cloth for womenDay 2 timing
Keep the whole of Day 2 free, because the time at Tirumala depends on your slot and the day's queueBest months
