Making your pilgrimage to Tirumala comfortable involves securing accommodation through the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). Knowing how to check the live status of room allotment and how to book rooms can save time, stress and disappointment. This guide walks you through everything you need to know.

1. What is the Live Status of TTD Room Allotment?

TTD provides both online allotments and on-arrival allotments for rooms. While an “official live dashboard” may not be continuously accessible for all categories, the TTD website and its counters publish current availability for Current Booking under Accommodation.
For example, as of the day of checking, you may see: “Running Slot … Balance rooms: …” on TTD’s portal.
Thus, by “live status” we mean: the latest room allotment updates at counters (CRO) and online booking portal reflecting current availability.

2. Types of Accommodation & Rates at Tirumala

TTD divides accommodation into categories based on location, amenities and cost:

Location / Guest House	Category	Typical Rate*
Dormitories / Free choultries	Free / Donated	Free rooms in major complexes.
Non-AC Basic Rooms	General pilgrims	Example: Non-AC rooms at Tirupati site Rs 300/day.
AC Rooms / Suites	Mid-tier	AC rooms in Tirupati (not Tirumala) from ~Rs 800.
Donor / VIP Cottages	Premium	Higher cost; separate allotment.

* Rates vary by cottage and season and may differ in Tirumala vs. Tirupati.

Important norms:

Room is allotted for 24 hours from the time of allotment.
Pilgrims who overstay may incur penalties: e.g., 200% of rent after 48 hrs, 400% after 72 hrs.

3. How to Check the Live Allotment / Availability

Here’s how you can check the status and obtain a room:

Online

Visit the TTD official booking portal.
Log in with your mobile number & OTP.
Select accommodation → Date → Location (select “Tirumala”).
Make payment & receive allotment details by SMS.

On-arrival (Current Booking at CRO Office)

The Central Reception Office (CRO), opposite Tirumala bus station, handles walk-in allotments.
Counter timings: Typically from 6 am to 10 pm for general allotment. Online allotment counter may operate 24 hrs.
First-come, first-served basis for many rooms.
Carry ID proof (Aadhar, photo ID) as required.

4. Step-by-Step: Booking & Allotment

Online Booking Steps

Visit TTD’s official portal → Accommodation.
Log in with mobile OTP.
Choose location “Tirumala”, select date & room category.
Enter pilgrim details, ID information.
Make payment; receive confirmation SMS with allotment.
On arrival: Go to ARP counter opposite CRO to claim keys.

On-Arrival Booking (at CRO Office)

Reach CRO early (recommend 5-6 am) to get in queue.
Submit ID proof and waitlist number. Many categories are allotted when rooms free up.
Once allotted, report to the specified cottage/reception and check-in.

5. Pro Tips for Smooth Experience

Book online early if your plan is fixed. On-arrival rooms may be limited.
If arriving without advance booking, reach the CRO Office at 5-6 am for best chance.
Carry original ID proof (Aadhar or equivalent) and keep mobile ready for SMS.
Beware of touts/agents: TTD uses facial recognition to prevent misuse.
For multi-day stays or separate rooms for groups, use separate mobile numbers & ID sets.
Remember the stay is for 24 hours; vacate promptly to avoid penalties.
Check if your category has a separate quota (senior citizens, physically challenged) and leverage it.
On festival days, rooms fill extremely fast — plan accordingly.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I check live room status continuously online?
A: While TTD shows current allotment status (booked/available) on its booking portal and counters, a real-time minute-by-minute dashboard may not always be accessible. Use the official portal for latest status.

Q: Can I book more than one room or stay multiple days?
A: Yes — for multiple rooms or multi-day stay, use separate bookings (mobile/ID) or book separately for each day as per guidelines.

Q: Are there rooms that are totally free?
A: Yes — TTD provides free choultry rooms and dormitories for pilgrims.

Q: What happens if I overstay the room beyond 24 hrs?
A: Penalties apply: 200 % rent after 48 hours, 400 % after 72 hours.

Q: Can agents guarantee rooms at Tirumala for me?
A: It’s risky. TTD uses strict norms including facial recognition. It’s safer to book yourself via official channels.
