The Abhishekanthar Darshan ticket (₹500 per person) lets up to two family members (adults, or children aged 10 or above) go with a couple who are doing Samuhika Abhishekam or Garbhalaya Abhishekam, and have Sparsha Darshan (touching the Shiva Lingam) with them.
Where it is normally booked
The Abhishekanthar Darshan ticket is normally available only on the official temple website, as an option while booking the Abhishekam. It is not offered separately.
The temple website is currently not working, so this option is not available right now.
Temporary alternative
Until the temple website works again, each accompanying family member can book a Sri Vruddha Mallikarjuna Swamy Abhishekam ticket (₹500) instead. In this case one ticket is for one person only, just like the Abhishekanthar Darshan ticket.
They must go along with the devotees who have the Samuhika or Garbhalaya Abhishekam ticket. Then they can go with the Abhishekam couple and touch the Shiva Lingam.
Book it through WhatsApp Mana Mitra (9552300009): send "Hi" → Temple Services → Nandyal → Sri Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple → Service → Seva → Pratyaksha Seva → Sri Vruddamallikarjuna Swamy Vari Abhishekam. Choose the same date as the Abhishekam, and the slot nearest to the time of your booked Abhishekam.
Sri Vruddha Mallikarjuna Swamy Abhishekam slots: 5:30 AM, 6:30 AM, 9:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 11:30 AM and 6:00 PM.
Example: parents booked Samuhika Abhishekam at 6:00 PM (₹1,500, couple ticket), and their two children (aged 10 or above) want to go with them. Each child books a Sri Vruddha Mallikarjuna Swamy Abhishekam ticket at 6:00 PM (2 × ₹500). Total ₹2,500 for 4 people.
Children below 10 years do not need a ticket to accompany their parents. Carry the child's Aadhaar card as proof of age.
Without a Samuhika or Garbhalaya Abhishekam
If you book the Sri Vruddha Mallikarjuna Swamy Abhishekam ticket on its own, not along with a Samuhika or Garbhalaya Abhishekam couple, it gives the Abhishekam at the Sri Vruddha Mallikarjuna Swamy temple and Alankara Darshan of Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy (from a distance, without touching).
This is a temporary arrangement while the temple website is down. Please confirm the latest rules with the temple before travelling.
