Laksha Kumkumarchana Held in Sri Padmavati Ammavari Temple

Laksha Kumkumarchana was held with religious fervour in Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple in Tirupati on Saturday.

After awakening the presiding deity with Suprabhatam, Sahasranamarchana was performed. Later the Utsava murthy of Goddess Padmavathi Devi was brought to Sri Krishna Mukha Mandapam.

The temple archakas performed Laksha Kumkumarchana between 8am and 12noon in front of the processional deity.

Kumkuma (vermilion) has got great significance in Hindu Sanatana Dharma, as married women place Sindhoor on their foreheads seeking the well-being and longevity of their husbands. 

The event is conducted ahead of the Navahnika Karthika Brahmotsavams where the devotees participated with devotion.

Spouses of TTD mandarins, JEO Smt Sada Bhargavi, DyEO Sri Lokanatham, AEO Sri Prabhakar Reddy and others were present.
