According to the latest available booking information, the special Vaikunta Ekadasi Srivari Seva slots will be released online on October 28, 2026, at 11:00 AM. The regular December quota for General Srivari Seva, Navaneeta Seva and Parakamani Seva will be released on the same day at 12:00 noon.

| Service period | Dates |
|---|---|
| First spell | December 16–22, 2026 |
| Second spell | December 17–23, 2026 |
| Third spell | December 22–28, 2026 |
| Fourth spell | December 23–29, 2026 |

These are the listed date ranges for the special Vaikunta Ekadasi service quota. Volunteers should select a period they can attend in full and follow the instructions displayed during registration.
Who Can Apply for the Special Slots?
The published booking information specifies an age range of 18 to 50 years for the special Vaikunta Ekadasi Srivari Seva slots.
Applicants should verify the applicable eligibility conditions and any additional requirements on the official TTD portal before registering.
Do not automatically apply this age limit to General Srivari Seva, Navaneeta Seva or Parakamani Seva, as each category may have separate eligibility requirements.
Important: No Darshan for Certain Sevaks on December 20 and 21
TTD's listed instructions state that General Srivari Seva, Navaneeta Seva and Parakamani Seva volunteers will not be provided darshan on December 20 and 21, 2026, in view of the expected pilgrim rush during the Vaikunta Ekadasi and Vaikunta Dwadasi period.
This restriction concerns the specified volunteer categories. It should not be interpreted as an announcement that ordinary darshan for all pilgrims is cancelled on those dates.
Parakamani Seva: December 18–20 Slot Omitted
The three-day Parakamani Seva slot covering December 18–20 has been omitted from the listed quota.
Applicants should not make travel plans on the assumption that this particular service period will be available.
Reporting Instructions for Srivari Seva Volunteers
Volunteers must follow the reporting instructions for their selected service category.
General Srivari Seva
Volunteers must report on the same date as their booked service date. This instruction applies to General Srivari Seva at both Tirumala and Tirupati.
Parakamani Seva
Parakamani volunteers must report one day before their booked service date, between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM, at Tirumala Seva Sadan-2.
Navaneeta Seva and special Vaikunta Ekadasi slots
Check the category-specific reporting instructions provided during booking. Do not assume that the reporting schedule for another service category also applies to your selection.

General Srivari Seva, Navaneeta Seva and Parakamani Seva: What's the Difference?
General Srivari Seva: A volunteer programme through which registered devotees assist TTD with various temple and pilgrim-service activities.
Navaneeta Seva: A specialised volunteer-service category with its own eligibility conditions and service duties. Applicants should check the current category-specific rules before registering.
Parakamani Seva: A specialised service associated with the handling and counting of offerings received by TTD. Additional eligibility and reporting conditions apply, so applicants should review the official requirements carefully.
Each category serves a different operational purpose. Choosing the right service and understanding the associated reporting conditions can help prevent last-minute travel problems.
