Sri Venkateswara Swamy, Tirupati, AP. 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 This Swami needs no introduction but it's worth remembering now, that, for the first time in a hundred years, his temple is not open for 22 hours everyday. On ordinary days, about 75 K to one lakh devotees visit him everyday and his temple is open almost until 1 pm in the night... We have heard of a Krishna temple in Kerala that closes just for an hour everyday but that's the rule in that temple. A very special case, to be precise. Temples built as per agama shastra ( or Tantra shastra, as in Parasurama kshetra) have to be maintained /operated as per the same shastra. Thousands of people may visit everyday but the fact remains that the Swami at Tirupati has had no rest since years nor are the unseen celestials given their rightful share of time to worship him after the humans leave for the day... *Now he's in and we are all out.* 😢 His sevaks do the regular pujas and maintain the temple
