The story behind Tirumala Hair Offering At KalyanaKatta

The first devotee who gave her hair to god is Neela Devi. Lord Srinivasa named this hill by her name as Neeladri. When Lord Srinivasa was hit by a Shepard on his head, a small portion of his scalp becomes bald. There is no hair growth over that place and this was noticed by Gandharva princess, Neeladevi. She felt such a handsome face should not have any defect. Immediately she cuts a portion of her hair and implants it on his scalp with her powers. As hair is considered as the beautiful aspect of women, Lord Srinivasa notices her sacrifice and he said all the hair given to him by devotees in Tirumala or Tirupati belongs to Neeladevi. Giving our hair to god is the symbol of leaving our ego. The word “Talanelalu” also comes from her name.

  1. How much time will this process take

  2. After 2 years of my resolution, I Hv done “mundan” and Hv collected my hair in an airtight bag, I want to offer my hair at Tirumala.

    Can I send my hair by post/ courier??
    If yes please provide me the corresponding address for offering…

    Eagerly waiting for reply. THANK YOU

  3. Hi,

    I am planning to take my son to Tirupati.
    We need to offer his hair as per our tradition.

    We would be staying in Tirupati tomorrow and would want to offer hair tomorrow – but we have the slot for temple visit on Wednesday.
    So tomorrow (Tuesday) we would either go to Tirumala or other places in Tirupati, offer hair and stay in Tirupati.

    Wanted to know if this is OK. Also please suggest authorized places belonging to temple to offer hair in Tirupati.

    Regards
    Girish

  4. My son’s mundan hair (very small quantity) is kept for many years for offering at some religious place. Can we offer the same at Tirupati? What is the process? Should we put it in the Hundi?

    • Dear Shitanshu,

      Yes, you can very offer hair at Tirumala, which is really good thing. Hair offering will be done at KalyanaKatta. It hardly takes 30-45 min for the Mundan.

      Please let me know if further info required.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal,

        My question was that if mundane is already done at some other place and some hair is kept for offering, how can we offer the same at Tirupati?
        Thanks.

    Hemanth

    • Dear Hemanth,

      1) Birth certificate of your daughter. Supadam is 50 steps away from Vaikuntam I queue complex entrance. Vaikuntam I, is the place where all Arijtha Sevas ticket holder do report for Darshan. T.T.D information counters are available, you can check with if directions required.

      2) For infant entry, it is from 8 am tll 1:30 am. Please report at your convenience.
      3) Accommodation in Tirumala will take more time, as it is Brahmotsavam and that too weekend, Crowd will be high in Tirumala.
      4) Ear piercing will be done at Purohit Sangam, which is on the way to Papavinasanam. Private jeeps do run to this place at high frequency. Usually, one should go do ear piercing or tonsure prior to Darshan. http://gotirupati.com/purohit-sangam-tirumala-tirupati/

      Please note that, crowd will be high in Tirumala during this time, it will take little extra time as than planned.

      Thanks,

    • Dear Hemanth,

      Supadam entry is not available during Brahmotsavam, please change your schedule http://gotirupati.com/tirumala-brahmotsavam-supadam-entry/

      Thanks,

  9. Can all devotees go to Rambageecha Guest House for tonsuring? or do you have to be booked there for accommodation?

  10. I am coming for my baby’s first mundan? Whether we can do tonsuring at Kapila theertham and then proceed for darshan to tirumala?

  11. I want to offer my hairs at Tirupati Balaji temple I will be reacing on 31st Oct by train in afternoon. By wht time and where can I offer the hairs?

    • Dear Sachin,

      After reaching Tirupati, you need to start to Tirumala by Bus or walk (whichever you prefer). Buses to Tirumala available from Tirupati Bus station.
      You need to offer hair at KalyanaKatta which is 10 mins walk from Tirumala Bus station.

      Tirumala Bus station -> Annamayya Circe -> Shopping complex -> KalyanaKatta. T.T.D info centers available at all places in Tirumala, they will guide you in reaching KalyanaKatta.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks Kamal. I am trying to book my slot on TTD website. I will be accompanied by my 6 yr old daughter but the website says that I have to enter age more than 13 yrs. Are children below 13 yrs not allowed in temple?

        • Dear Sachin,

          You don’t need to enter name of your kid while booking tickets. Ticket not required for children below 12 years of age. Please book tickets excluding your daughter’s mame.

          Thanks,

          • Thanks Kamal, Also can you help us understand what sort of clothing is required for the darshan. I was reading on the darshan slip that only traditional clothes like saree and suit for females and dhoti/shirt or kurta/pajama for males. Is there any restriction on other clothes like Jeans/T-shirt for both males and females.

          • Dear Sachin,

  17. Hi,

    We have planned Tirumala darshan, tonsure and ear piercing of our three children (age 11months, 4 yrs, and 8years) on Oct 28. We have booked tickets 300/- for 5 members.

    I have read about the ‘Supadam /Supatham’ for infants and parents. I want to know that does ‘Supadam’ require any advance booking or just by showing birth certificate parents can avail the ticket on the spot?

    My parents age is above 60 years. Can my parents also avail the ‘Supadam’ ticket by showing their age proof like Adhaar card? Please suggest.

I promised to offer hair to Lord Venkateshwara years back. Would it suffice to offer a part of hair or in total? My family says Sumangalis should not shave off entire hair. pls clarify. Thanks in advance.

  43. Sir, I have a doubt, upto what time buses are allowed from Tirupathi to Tirumala. what is the near place for hair offering from Raghavendra swamy mutt. paid one is also fine.

    • Dear Sir,

      Buses are allowed up till 11:30 pm. Rambageecha Guest House is paid service which is 10 mins. Near Main temple

      Thanks,

  44. Could you please provide SMC 211 route map.

  45. Could you please provide SMC 211 route map ? Also Need to offer hair ( Mundan) at Tirupati for my Son and I along with one more Father and Son ( total 4 of us). would you please suggest timings on 13th and 14th ? Can we book timings for mundan ? We have booked special darshan on 14th Feb at 2 pm. Please advise contacts as need help!

    • Dear Sir,

      Plan to perform Mundan on 14h Feb at Rambageecha Guest House, which will not take more than 30 mins here. No online booking for mundan.
      As you have already booked Rs.300 ticket for 14th feb, you can finish this mundan on 14th Feb morning itself.

      Try to reach Tirumala by 9 am so that you can finish Mundan and bathing before joining darshan line

      Thanks,

  46. Hello Sir, please share the route map of SMC 211. Thank you!

  47. Hi, Me , my wife, my 11 months daughter and my mother in law aged 65 yrs are planning to visit Tirumala on 22nd Feb, 2016. have few queries…We are basically coming for Lord’s darshan and for Mundan ceremony of my 11 months daughter. Can you pls guide me with the exact procedure so that we can finish the mundan as well as Lords darshan a bit early, as will be very difficult to stay for a longer time with the baby.
    1. Is there a seperate line for the darshan with d small baby ? If yes, then will all of us be allowed to enter through the same line?

    2. Where do you suggest us to do the mundan n how much we have to pay?

    3. Will we be allowed to carry baby’s essentials eg milk n her kit ?

    Waiting for your reply. Kindly guide us. Thanking you in anticipation.

  48. plz provide the details how to reach to SMC-211 my darshan timing slot is 11 AM and I have to donate hairs also.

    Please let me know where I have to reach and at what time.

    • Dear Akki,

      Please visit Rambagicha Guest House to offer hair. As your darshan slot is 11 am – 12 pm, reporting is allowed till 11:30 am.
      If you plan to reach Tirumala by 9 am then hair offering will take 30 mins + 30 mins for bath. So you can complete this activity by 10:30 am (max)

      Thanks,

  49. Me Preeti & my hubby plan’s a trip 2 Tirumala Tirupati & i just want 2 offer my hair as a vow. My question is i want 2 offer my hair fully & also want 2 shave my facial shave & armpits shave so whr i get it done in tirumala or tirupati?

    • Dear Madam,

      Please plan this way

      1) Offer Hair fully at Kalyanakatta( Free tonsure) or at Rambagicha Guest House (Paid tonsure Around Rs.35)
      2) Women barbers will be available in Kalyanakatta but it will be crowded all the time.
      3) You can do facial and armpits shaving at your place and collect them in a polythene cover and drop the collect at Kalyanakatta Hundi after reaching Tirumala. Next option is that you have to wait at Kalyanakatta for women barbers availability and they will do that.

      Please check your inbox for the Kalyanakatta and Rambagicha Guest House Route map.

      Thanks,

  50. Hi.. I have daughter of 13.5 months old age.
    1. will they allow through infant entry?
    2. Is infant entry pilgrim also meet with other darshan entry pilgrims at main entrance?
    I mean infant & parents need to face those crowd?

    I am planning for hair tonsure/mundan/javal in marathi at Tirupati.
    2. can we suggest to do this ceremony in easier way..

    Is it good to take 300 Rs special darshan with infant if they do not allow infant entry darshan?
    I am more concern about inner sacnctum crowd, people push & don’t care about others.
    That is obvious, I did the same thing, but now as father thinking other way 🙂
    Is there any special pooja etc so that my family should get hassle free darshan as part of that pooja?

    • correcting second question as please share information to do ceremony in easier way

      • Dear Sir,

        1) Bus to Tirumala is available from Tirupati Bus station. Bus frequency is 15 mins
        2) After getting down at Tirumala Bus station go straight -. Annamayya Circle -> Further straight to Rambagicha Guest House
        3) It is paid service. it will not take more than 30 mins here

        Thanks,

    • Dear Raj,

      1) Infant should be less than 12 months for infant entry
      2) If you plan your trip on Tue-Wed then it will be Direct Darshan line and It will not take more than 45 mins for Darshan
      3) Please offer hair at Rambagicha Guest House, it is paid service and will not take more than 30 mins for that.

      Other way is that you can book Seva tickets such as Kalyanotsavam where the seva will be performed inside the temple. After seva it will not take more than 20 mins for Darshan

      Try for these sevas, Suprabhatham, NijaPada Darshanam, Kalyanotsavam seva

      Apr month quota will be released online on 4th mar at 11 am

      Thanks

  51. Sir,

  229. Hi Sir,

    we are planning to visit Tirupati on oct22nd we book ticket at 12 clock for specail Dharasan.But there is no time to give hair before dhrasan because we reach there by moring 10.30am , So we can offer hair after Dharasan ?
    Please let me know is it correct way or wrong

    Thanks,
    Raviraj

    • Dear Sir,
      Yes, you can offer hair after Darshan but preferred before Darshan. You can easily manage even if you reach by 10:30 am in Tirumala. Hair offering at Rambagicha will not take more than 30 mins + 20 mins bathing at Srivari Pushkarini which is 5 mins walk from Rambagicha.
      Thanks

      • Hi Sir ,
