TTD Electronic Lucky Dip and Random Allotment for Srivari Arjitha Sevas include Tomala Seva, Archana, Nijapada Darshanam, Suprabatha Darshanam Seva, and Astadala Pada Padmaradhanamu. You can participate through the TTD Devasthanam Website. The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam Board started offering Arjitha Seva tickets for these rare sevas through an electronic lucky dip three months ago. Devotees and pilgrims who wish to book these sevas, which provide inner sanctum darshan of Lord Sri Venkateswara Swamy's main idol, need to register their details on the TTD Devasthanam Website.
The website of TTD is updated with the latest schedule for devotees to enter the random allotment for Arjitha Seva tickets. This year, tickets for October and November will be issued in the same manner. Below are the schedule, allotment registration dates, and announcement times for Arjitha Sevas. The chances of getting seva ticket online are rare. Once a ticket is issued, the devoteeās Aadhar is restricted for 6 months from booking another ticket.
From April 2020, as there was lockdown restrictions, TTD stopped all Arjitha Sevas in the temple. As Darshanam involves huge crowd it became impossible in the event of social distancing. Each seva involves large crowds and close proximity, making social distancing impossible. Although many attempts were made to allow Arjitha Sevas, the second wave of COVID-19 in December 2020 led to further postponement. Once the large vaccination drive, the TTD board decided to restart Arjitha Sevas for the public from April 2022. The booking procedure remains the same as before. Devotees can book sevas like Kalyanotsavam, Arjitha Brahmotsavam, Dolotsavam or Unjal Seva, Vasantotsavam, Sahasra Deepalankarana Seva, Visesha Pooja, etc., online. These tickets are released one week before the start of each month. Online Lucky Dip registration will begin in the last week of March. Devotees can choose their preferred seva online.

Currently, Kalyanotsavam Seva is under halt in Tirupati due to social distancing measures. But TTD has thought about it and has found an innovative solution which will bring relief to people. Recently, a new and convenient scheme has been introduced by TTD for devotees. Now, devotees can boom the Kalyanotsavam tickets through online mode and participate in Kalyanotsavam Seva through the comfort of their homes in Live TV. The tickets for Virtual Arjitha Seva tickers will be available 90 days before to the Darshan. When compared to the general ticket, this ticket costs higher but the devotees can easily book their slot in advance. This concept was successful during the covid days. The Kalyanotsavam prasadam will be sent to devotees free of charge via India Post Parcel service. Also, ticket holders are allowed for a special entry darshan within 90 days at no extra cost.
For the past 10 years, TTD has used its online website to issue seva, darshan, and accommodation bookings. Creating a user account on the website was all that was needed to make a booking. However, as the number of devotees and visitors to Tirumala hill continues to increase, competition for booking Arjitha Sevas like Suprabatha Darshanam, Nijapada Darshanam, Thomala, Archana, and Astadala Pada Padmaradhanam has become intense.
Due to the high volume of requests, the server often becomes unstable, and people with faster internet connections book more quickly. To prevent misuse of these rare sevas, TTD implemented the Lucky Dip Seva Registration. The EDP quota, request letters, and Arjitham Donation Scheme bookings release a limited number of tickets each day. Additionally, to ensure maximum transparency, the TTD board has stopped issuing lucky dip seva tickets daily at the CRO office.
