We highly recommend having your TTD login credentials ready and ensuring a stable internet connection before the specified release times, as tickets often sell out within minutes.

Phase 1: Major Arjitha Sevas (Electronic DIP System)

The booking process begins with the most sought-after pre-dawn and weekly sevas. These are allocated through an electronic lottery (DIP) system due to high demand and limited availability.

• Registration Opens: December 18 at 10:00 AM.

• Registration Closes: Devotees have until 10:00 AM on December 20 to register online for the electronic DIP.

Crucial Step for DIP Winners:

If you are successfully allotted a ticket through the DIP system, you must complete the payment to confirm your booking. The payment window opens on December 20 and closes strictly at 12:00 Noon on December 22. Failure to pay by this deadline will result in ticket cancellation.
