someone suffering from these symptoms, they will screen him/her 
with thermo screeners at the Srivari Mettu and Alipiri and also

To make things easier for the pilgrims, TTD (Tirumala 
Tirupati Devasthanams) has introduced the facility to 
cancel pre-boded tickets for special Darshan, 
accommodation and sevas.
A decision has been taken by the TTD to refund the 
special entry darshan fees of 300 INR (charged per 
head), advance fees paid by the devotees for Arjitha 
Seva advance booking and accommodation in Tirupati, 
Tirumala. The amount will be refunded if the devotees 
either postpone their Darshan date or cancel their 
tickets till May 2020. This is not a usual thing because 
as per policy, TTD doesn’t refund such payments if the 
devotees cancel their plans.

Medical camps will be run by the Medical Wing of TTD and the 
health department at both the footpath routes. These camps 
will also be run at the Alipiri toll gate and sufficient 
paramedical staff will be appointed. There will be medicines 
and screening equipment available for the sake of pilgrim.
If someone had booked Arjitha Seva ticket, they will be given 
the option to change the dates or refund on cancellation. The 
same will be applicable for pilgrims who had booked Rs. 300 
Darshan and accommodation booked in advance till 31st May.
If you want more information or if you have any doubts 
related to the cancellation of tickets, you can send an email 
at [email protected] to get a quick response. Also, you 
can call the TTD call centre staff to more guidance in this 
context.

Even NRIs and foreigners have been appealed to 
postpone their pilgrimage to Tirumala for the coming 28 
days from the day they stepped in India. This is in view 
of Government of India not issuing visas to foreigners 
till 15th April 2020.
Due to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) threat, there has 
been a significant reduction in the crowd coming to 
Tirumala. Devotees who already have a time slot are 
getting to do easy Darshan without waiting in long 
Vaikuntham queues. However, authorities have 
instructed to allow not more than 250 devotees in each 
compartment of the complex as compared to the usual 
450-500 people. This is because they want to take extra 
precautions to avoid the spread of the virus, if any.
