Every day, over 22,000 worshipers attend the tirupati Ezhumalayan Temple. 8,000 of them are devotees who have purchased a special Rs 300 darshan ticket online. Sarva Darshan tokens have been booked online by over 8,000 persons. Aside from that, 6,000 devotees will receive a VIP break, vani Foundation tickets, and Rs.300 tickets on recommendation, and will be able to perform rapid darshan through the 'Supatham'.

If VIP Break Darshan is a tirumala day stay, However, if you have darshan through this Supatham, you can visit the Swami and go in less than half an hour.

They looked into people who were suspicious of individuals who brought darshan tickets through Supatham in this regard.
