Tirumala Museum

The holy shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala is one of the most ancient and sacred temples. Millions of devout pilgrims make their way to Tirumala for a glimpse of His magnificent form and to offer fervent prayers for fulfilment of their desires. Though T.T.D. has taken several innovative measures in the past to provide easy and comfortable darshan, the steady inflow of devotees has gone up so high that the queue management has become a herculean task. The devotees were constrained to spend several hours in the queue lines before they could have a glimpse of the Lord. T.T.D. obviates long hours of waiting in the queue. The Devasthanams is making all efforts from day to day according to the devotees and try their level best for providing easy and comfortable darshan of Lord Srinivasa. As part of this, TTD had introduced time slot darshan for the convenience of devotees. Devotees must come to Swami darshan according to the time given in the time slotted darshan. Before or after the time given are not allowed. Devotees must come to Devotees are already utilising this darshan facility. After completing or in the mean while before going for Swami darshan they can have a visit to the near by sacred places in Tirumala. 

In this article devotees may know about the Museum in Tirumala and Tirupati. To make their pilgrimage more memorable and knowledgeable, they should spend time here. Preservation of traditional temple arts have been the foremost thing of the temples which are the treasure houses of our culture. In olden days, the kings patronized these arts and promoted the native skills of the artisans and arts as ordained and encouraged innovations of the talented ones so that their inherent art would further be cultivated for future generations. But, in these days these temple arts lack patronage and have become a diminishing art. In order to preserve and give sustenance to these temple arts, TTD had already taken steps to encourage these arts. Among them, TTD arranged Museum in Tirupati and Tirumala with historical artefacts collected since 1500 years.
