It is customary to visit temples and ashrams on the New Year day to get blessings from God and Gurus although the beginning of the year as per the English calendar has no significance in the Hindu calendar.

TTD expecting heavy rush on the day is opening the sale of tickets of Rs.50/- from 7th November for the special New Year darshan on 1st January 2014.  The tickets are made available at the e ticket counters of TTD in the country.

But, TTD said that advance tickets will not be available for 11th January 2014 on which Vaikuntha Ekadashi falls.  The pilgrims desirous of having darshan on that day have to get tickets from the current ticket vending counters on that day.
