Tirumala:15.07.2018
The Lord Venkateswara temple atop Tirumala will remain closed for six days from August 11, for the fulfilment of a customary religious ritual which is performed once every 12 years.
Tirumala Tirupati Devesthanams (TTD) chairman Putta Sudhakar Yadav said the temple will be closed for the said period for the deity’s Ashta Bandhana Balaalaya Maha Samprokshana ritual, which will begin on August 11 with Ankurarpana.
Sacramental rituals, including Santhi Homams (puja for peace), will be held in the temple all through the six days. Since there would be only a few hours in between the rituals, the temple management has decided to keep the temple closed for visitors during that period, Yadav said.
As a preparatory measure, the TTD will stop the entry of devotees from August 9 evening into the queue lines and Vaikunta compartments. Pilgrims should plan their visit accordingly, Yadav urged.
Meanwhile, the temple will remain closed from 5pm on July 27 till 4.14am the next morning in view of a total lunar eclipse.
