Vaikunta Ekadasi 2025–2026 SRIVANI VIP Break Darshan

Introduction

Vaikunta Ekadasi 2025–2026 is one of the most sacred occasions for Lord Vishnu devotees, especially those visiting Tirumala Tirupati Temple. Every year, thousands of pilgrims from across India wait to pass through the Vaikunta Dwaram which is believed to grant moksha (liberation).
For the 2025 Vaikunta period, the Vaikunta Dwaram (Gateway to Heaven) at Tirumala Temple will be opened from 30 December 2025 to 8 January 2026, allowing devotees to have the auspicious Vaikunta Dwara Darshan of Lord Venkateswara.
To help devotees experience comfortable darshan without long queues, TTD offers SRIVANI VIP Break Darshan tickets, and trusted travel organizers like Padmavathi Travels make the journey smooth and well-planned.

What Is Vaikunta Ekadasi?

Vaikunta Ekadasi, also known as Mukkoti Ekadasi, is celebrated in the Tamil month of Margazhi (Dhanur Masa). It symbolizes the day when Lord Vishnu opens the gates of Vaikunta (heaven) for His devotees.
Passing through the Vaikunta Dwaram is believed to remove sins and grant eternal blessings. At Tirumala, this festival is observed with grandeur — special decorations, rituals, processions, and extended darshan hours.
