The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is making extensive preparations for the upcoming Vaikunta Ekadasi festival, which will be celebrated from December 23 at the Tirumala temple.

Vaikunta Ekadasi, one of the most significant festivals at the Tirumala temple, attracts a large number of devotees from across the country. The festival marks the opening of the Vaikunta Dwaram, a special entrance to the sanctum sanctorum, believed to grant moksha (liberation) to devotees who pass through it.

To manage the influx of pilgrims, the temple administration has put in place comprehensive crowd management and security measures. Additional facilities such as temporary shelters, medical camps, and increased transportation services are being arranged to ensure a smooth and safe experience for the devotees.

Special darshan tickets will be issued, and devotees are encouraged to book their slots online to avoid overcrowding. The TTD has also planned cultural programs, including devotional music and dance performances, to enhance the spiritual ambiance during the festival.

The Vaikunta Ekadasi festival at the Tirumala temple promises to be a grand and spiritually enriching event, drawing countless devotees seeking divine blessings.
