Visiting the sacred hill-town of Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh) and seeking affordable lodging near the temple? You’ll find that the Hathiramji Mutt (also referred to as Hathiram Bhavam) offers one of the practical options for pilgrims. In this guide you’ll discover the room cost, booking procedure, amenities, and practical tips — all geared to help you plan your stay with confidence.
1. Location & Background
The Hathiramji Mutt is situated right opposite the main shrine of Sri Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala in Tirumala, close to the Vaikuntam complex, the laddus/prasadam counters, Pushkarini (temple pond) and the CRO (Crowd Regulation Office).
Historically, the Mutt was managed by Hathiramji (a devotee who journeyed from North India around the 1500 CE era), and held the administration of the temple from 1843 to 1932 before the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) took over.
Because of its proximity, the lodging at the Mutt offers an excellent choice for pilgrims wanting to stay near the temple shrine.
2. Room Cost & Booking Details
Room Cost: One room at the Mutt is listed at ₹600 per night.
Booking:
- There is no full online reservation system currently for the Hathiramji Mutt rooms.
- Benefactors (sponsors) may book rooms on behalf of pilgrims.
- Booking is done by visiting the Mutt or calling ahead — contact number provided: 0877 222 0015.
- Once booked, the booking cannot be cancelled or refunded.
3. Room Amenities & What to Expect
- The rooms are described as “modest”, offering basic facilities rather than luxury.
- Hot water is available around the clock.
- Extra beds may be available (important if travelling with family).
- Because rooms are modest and limited, full fledged families might find the space somewhat constrained.
- The Mutt’s accommodation operates independently of TTD’s lodging system — it is a private accommodation under Hathiramji Mutt.
4. Practical Tips for Pilgrims
- Book early, especially during peak pilgrimage seasons (festivals, weekends) — the modest rooms fill quickly.
- Check room size and extra bed availability if travelling with children or elderly — ask when you call/visit the Mutt.
- Carry valid photo ID and arrival time details because the lodging is close to temple complex and security is strict.
- Since cancellation or refund is not allowed, plan your arrival and stay carefully.
- Consider alternate lodging options (TTD guest houses, nearby private lodges) if you need more spacious rooms or fully online booking flexibility.
- Since the room cost is relatively low (₹600/night), expect basic amenities; bring your own essentials (though hot water is provided).
- Being right near the temple shrine, you save transit and can go for early darshan easily — a big advantage.
