Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams warns of fake website and misleading VIP darshan ads

The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has issued an alert after a fraudulent website, ttddevasthanam.online, started circulating on social media offering Srivari Darshan and Seva tickets for August‑October. The site mimics official TTD online services, aiming to cheat devotees and damage the temple's reputation. TTD has lodged a criminal case with the Tirumala Two Town Police Station and asked the domain’s administrators to remove the site, urging pilgrims to book darshan, accommodation and tickets only through the official TTD website or mobile app.

Separately, TTD denied any link to a real‑estate developer’s advertisement that promised lifetime VIP break darshan to buyers of plots near the Tirupati highway. The agency labelled the promotion false and misleading, directed police to take legal action against the developer, and reminded devotees that darshan facilities are provided solely through authorized TTD channels.
