From December 23 to January 1, devotees can visit Vaikunta Dwara for ten days. 4.23 Laksh Darshan passes will be issued at the counters at nine places in Tirupati.

Importance of Vaikunta Dwara Darshan
The ten-day Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan is very important. In Vaikuntam, the abode of Sri Maha Vishnu, the first six months of the Uttarayana period are thought to be twelve hours of morning, and the last six months of the Dakshinayana period are thought to be twelve hours of night. The holy books of Hindu Sanatana Dharma say that ten days in Dhanurmasam are equal to forty minutes in Vaikuntam. This is when Sri Maha Vishnu attends the court and gives darshan to His Devaganas, or followers. This is the same as ten days of Vaikunta Dwara Darshan. Because of this, these ten days are holy.
