Temple committees urged devotees to plan visits carefully. Since the eclipse started in the afternoon, officials advised pilgrims to reschedule travel accordingly.
In Tirumala, authorities will also modify Annaprasadam distribution and Sarva Darshan schedules. However, priests will reopen temples only after completing purification rituals and Punyahavachanam.
Officials stated they will restore regular darshan once rituals conclude. Therefore, devotees should check official temple updates before travelling. (Maxim News)
