In observance of the Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on September 07, 2025, many temples under the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) will remain closed from the afternoon session onwards. This follows the traditional practice of closing temple doors approximately six hours before the eclipse begins, to maintain spiritual sanctity.
