The Sanctorum |
December 1, 2011 saw the inauguration of the TTD (Tirumalai Tirupati Devasthanam) Temple at Sion West. A murthi of Sri Balaji has been erected in the ground floor of a building directly behind Vittal Mandir that is on the Sion-Panvel Highway. The murthi has been brought all the way from Tirupati and has been created exactly like the moolavar (main idol) at Tirupati Mandir.
Venkat had read the news in the papers that TTD was opening a branch near Sion Circle on December 1. He went looking for the office yesterday and discovered this temple.

Although, I have given the whole address and telephone number. It is also mentioned that it is behind Vithal Mandir which is plop on the highway. You cannot miss it.
Dear Sundari Venkatraman,
ReplyDeleteThanks for Virtual Darshan of Shri Venketesh,
I tried calling on the no. given in 1 of your post. Its not working since long. I am planning to visit Lord Venketesha next week & wanna try for special darshan. I heard from someone that you can get the tickets 1 day before the darshan date. If you know about this, please let me know. I will be very grateful to you. My contact details are 9869825282 & mail id is gauravhatalkar@gmail.com. Awaiting to hear from you.
This temple has been constructed by TTD and they are organising special darshans at Tirupati. You have to book the darshan from the office here, they will take your fingerprints, etc and give you a date and time for the same.
DeleteThen you book your trip and reach Tirupati at that time and with the receipt they issue you. You get to see Lord Balaji without waiting too long. I believe the maximum waiting time is some 3 hours or so.
I have given the address of the Sion temple and also the timing. I think the office is closed on Tuesdays as they work over the weekend. Why don't you visit the place and find out more?
Hey its really very nice thing. thanks for posting... Tirupati is really an amazing place, Awesome post about tirupati online booking and accommodation services.…!!
ReplyDeleteIt is compulsory to book 60 days in advance tirupati darshan ticket.plz rlpy fast.
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteI am not an agent for this temple. I am just a blogger who has brought together as much information as possible.
If you are keen on taking a darshan, why don't you go to the office and Sion and find out yourself?
