\ud83d\uded5 Sabarimala (Ayyappa) Darshan Booking \u2013 2025: What You Need to Know<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Virtual Queue (Virtual-Q) System<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      The Sabarimala Darshan uses a Virtual Queue (Virtual Q)<\/strong> for darshan slots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      The official booking portal is sabarimalaonline.org<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      According to the latest updates, Virtual Q ticket bookings for 2025-26 are open between 1st November 2025 and 14th January 2026<\/strong> for the main season (Mandala \/ Makaravilakku).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      To book, you need to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Register \/ log in using a mobile number, email, and an ID proof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Choose whether it’s an individual<\/strong> or group booking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Pick your date and time slot<\/strong>. Slots are limited<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        You\u2019ll get a \u201cVirtual Q ticket \/ receipt\u201d which you should print<\/strong> and carry with ID when you go for darshan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        There is no cost<\/strong> for the Virtual Q ticket itself.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Important: You need to report to entry at Nilakkal checkpoint<\/strong> before the scheduled time<\/em> mentioned in your booking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Spot Booking<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • \n

          If you miss the Virtual Q booking, there is a spot booking option<\/strong> available.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Spot booking counters are available at places like Pampa, Nilakkal, Chengannur<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          But: the chances are limited<\/em>, since most people will already have booked via Virtual Q.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          You must carry a valid ID proof<\/strong> (Aadhaar, Voter ID, Passport, etc.) for spot booking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Darshan \/ Temple Timings & Rules<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
            \n
          • \n

            When temple is open (especially during peak \/ Mandala season), there are 18 time-slots per day<\/strong> for darshan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            The temple opens very early: around 3:00 AM<\/strong> and closes around 11:30 PM<\/strong> (or as per the schedule).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            During the darshan, you must carry your Virtual Q ticket + the same ID proof<\/strong> as in booking.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Puja \/ Seva Bookings<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
              \n
            • \n

              If you want to perform or book special pujas (like Neyyabhishekam, Pushpabhishekam, etc.), you can do that via onlinetdb.com<\/strong> (the Travancore Devaswom Board\u2019s site).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              On the same site, you can also book accommodation<\/strong> (rooms \/ cottages) for your stay during the pilgrimage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Insurance<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
                \n
              • \n

                All pilgrims who book through the Virtual Q system get \u20b95 lakh accidental death insurance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                There is also a small charge (reported) in the Virtual Q transaction for this (or related) \u2014 some sources mention a \u20b95 fee.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Booking Tips<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • \n

                  Book as early as possible<\/em>: Slots fill quickly, especially in peak season.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Use a stable internet connection when doing the booking, and keep your ID proof ready.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  After booking, print the Virtual Q pass<\/strong> and carry a digital backup too.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  At the check-in (Nilakkal etc.), reach well in advance: some posts suggest being there ~3 hours before slot.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  For accommodation, check onlinetdb.com<\/strong> soon after Virtual Q booking \u2014 rooms are limited.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \n
