Tirupati temple to use AI to reduce darshan wait time

India Nov 05, 2025

Big changes are coming to Tirupati!
The TTD Board is bringing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help cut darshan wait times down to just two hours.
Chairman B R Naidu says this tech upgrade is all about making things smoother and more transparent for pilgrims.

TTD is also working on other facilities for devotees

The temple has already tweaked its 'VIP Break Darshan' system, shaving off up to 2.5 hours from the wait.
Alipiri toll gate will soon have high-tech scanners for quicker entry.
Plus, there's a new facility in the works for 25,000 devotees, expanded food distribution services, and a Cyber Security Lab proposal to keep online bookings safe.
TTD is also reclaiming sacred land and distributing food to over 100,000 pilgrims daily—showing real commitment to improving every visit.
