Suprabhata Darshan Details of Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy

There are various Sevas and Seva Darshans of Tirumala Sri Venkateswara Swamy. Suprabhata Seva is one such seva / darshan which is the wake up pooja of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. It starts with the divine chanting of 'Kausalya Supraja Rama Poorva Sandhya Pravartate' at Bangaru Vakili in front of the main deity.

Devotees can have the Suprabhata darshan of Lord Venkateswara from 3.00 a.m onwards after the seva which lasts for 30 minutes from 2.30 a.m to 3.00 a.m. This seva is not performed in Dhanur Masam as Tirupavvai is recited during this time.

Pilgrims / devotees can book the tickets online for Suprabhata Darshan from the official website of TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) - www, ttdsevaonline.com. Tickets can also be booked one day in advance from the Single Window Counter opposite to CRO (Central Reception Office), Tirumala. The seva is performed on all the 7 days of the week.
