-   -   Tirumala / Tirupati Seegradarshanam query (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route-travel-queries/75615-tirumala-tirupati-seegradarshanam-query-15.html)

If you donated at the bank at Tirumala and gave your correct address, they would send you an IT certificate you can use while filing your return. I recall it came in less than a month for me.

I heard there is a dress code for seegra darshanam as well. Anyone recently visited with the dress code restrictions on?

No dress code for seegra darshanam. i went on july 17th, 2013
Dress code is only for seva ticket holders

Of course there is no bar if you want to be in traditional attire

But just check before entering this Q, as i have found out Rs 50 Q is faster than this. you can book in advance online for rs 50/ for a specific time slot

Yes. There is a dress code. At least it was there in February 2013. Me and my friend were in three fourths and we were not allowed to get into the Q. Had no choice but to pay up and buy a lungi each. We had climbed to the top by foot.

Oh boy! This is indeed ridiculous. Are you saying now for all Seegra Darshanam everyone has to wear a lungi?:Shockked:

What about women? Saris?

There is no dress code for sreegradarshanam. But Gents has wear pant & shrit or dhoti/kurta paijama etc. no three fourths/shorts etc.
ladies- saree or punjabi dress. no tea shirts etc.

I was there last month 17th in pant and shirt. no body insisted that i wear lungi. Because the guys are in three fourths in this particular case they may might have been objected to. with no other option they might have bought lungi's

Dress code for seva tickets is dhoti with anga vastram for gents and saree/punjabi dress for ladies

other than Seva Ticket holders, everyone is expected to wear cloths that will cover your body decently. Thats what the dress code is actually. You cant wear shorts and skirts or three-fourths. Basically no western style :D

+1. Exactly!

Not everyone. As someone pointed out above the body should be covered fully. Thats the only restriction.

Guys

Any idea how's the rush now in Tirumala? We are traveling tomorrow and reaching on 2nd Oct at 8 am. (I know it's a holiday and would be crowded for sure). Our return is at midnight of the same day. I am told that 5th to 15th should be avoided due to Brahmotsavams.

Assuming we reach uphill by 1130 am, do you think we can complete sheegra darshan by 10 pm? And how much does the ticket cost per head?

Thanks in advance.

My cousin entered the que at 1.30 and was out only by 10.30pm, this was on 26th Sept. So you are running tight. Seegra darshanam is Rs.300/-

Thanks. Was that Seegra Darshan that your cousin took?

Yes. He did take Seegradhashanam
The 50 ticket takes 1/2 the time of Seegradharshanam for the last few weeks. But for that you will have to book in advance.

I had visited tirupati on the 16th of september,and had taken the seegradarshanam ticket of 300 ,and it took only 2 hours for the darshan to be completed.Nowadays because of the total bandh in andhra the rush is low. It is better to wear traditional dress like sari or churidar for women folk.

True , that was the scene a couple of weeks ago. But now that Brahmotsavams are starting, and Oct 2nd being a holiday, there could be many who'd like to have darshan during this week.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Last monday did darshan through seegradarshanam, took 3hr30mins which includes 1hr waiting to take the ticket as the ticket counter was closed for that duration.
Entered the queue at 7am and finished darshan by 10:30am.
