- Do not plan to arrive many hours early expecting entry.
- Do not build a transport plan that risks reaching after your allotted time.

This is an official TTD rule and can be updated. Re-check your ticket and the latest TTD notice before travel.
Dress code for ₹300 darshan
TTD publishes a traditional dress code for ₹300/advance-booked darshan.
| Who | Traditional dress |
|---|---|
| Men | Dhoti or pyjama with upper cloth; TTD guidance also references shirt/kurta-pyjama in its FAQ material. |
| Women | Saree/half-saree with blouse, or churidar-pyjama with upper cloth/dupatta. |
Avoid the common booking mistakes
- Do not pay a broker who promises a guaranteed temple ticket or room outside official TTD channels.
- Do not confuse an accommodation confirmation with a darshan confirmation; they are separate needs.
- Do not use an old social-media quota calendar as if it were the current month's official schedule.
- Do not book a tight arrival connection that reaches Tirupati close to the allotted slot.
