ToggleVIP Break Darshan
The VIP Break Darshan is a special type of darshan offered at the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, India. This darshan is designed for VIPs, politicians, and other dignitaries who visit the temple. The VIP Break Darshan is intended to provide a more convenient and efficient darshan experience for these special visitors.
The VIP Break Darshan is different from the regular Sarva Darshan in that it offers a shorter waiting time and a more exclusive darshan experience. The VIPs are given priority over the regular devotees, and they are able to have darshan of Lord Venkateswara without having to wait in long queues. The darshan time for VIPs is also longer than the regular darshan time, which allows them to have a more meaningful and personal experience.
To avail the VIP Break Darshan, the VIPs must obtain a special pass from the TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam) office. The pass is issued by the TTD based on the recommendations from the concerned authorities and the office of the Chief Minister. Once the pass is obtained, the VIPs must undergo a security check and thermal screening before being allowed to enter the temple. After the security check, the VIPs will be escorted to the main temple where they will have darshan of Lord Venkateswara.
The VIP Break Darshan is a unique and exclusive experience for VIPs and other dignitaries visiting the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala. It is an opportunity for them to connect with the divine and seek blessings from Lord Venkateswara in a more convenient and efficient manner. However, it’s important to note that the VIP break darshan is not available for the general public and it is only offered to the VIPs and politicians with a special pass.
