The site has comprehensive details about visit to the shrine. Booking your dharshans like suprabadha seva, thomala seva, kalyana urchavam etc. well in advance.
there is two types of daily darshans , free and paid. Normally free dharshan takes a longer time to get darshan of the lord and paid darshan ( fee rs. 100) gets you faster.
Nowadays there is a system of token in the form of bracelet on your wrist. it has the darshan gate entry date and time. this system is for both free and paid dharshan.
