The annual Brahmotsavams of the renowned Sri Padmavathi Sametha Sri Prasanna Venkataramana Swamy Temple at Kosuvaripalli in Tamballapalle Mandal of Annamayya district commenced in a traditional and religious manner on Monday with the performance of Dhwajarohanam.
Earlier, the processional deities of Sri Prasanna Venkataramana Swamy along with Sridevi and Bhudevi were taken in a procession around the temple along with the Garuda flag. Later, the Dhwajarohanam ritual was conducted between 9.05 a.m. and 9.45 a.m.
Inscriptions reveals that this temple was originally consecrated during the period of the Vengi Cholas. During the reign of Sri Achyuta Devaraya (Salivahana Saka 1400–1462), the temple was constructed by Sri Kambam Timmaraya and Venkatadri Nayudu.
As per inscriptions, the village of Amrutakala Godu Gubba was donated for the temple’s daily rituals including dhoopa, deepa, and naivedyam.
Subsequently, Sri Venkatadri Nayudu and his son Venkatappa Nayudu made further endowments to the temple.
In Salivahana Saka 1465, Sri Sadasiva Raya also donated land and gold, as recorded on inscriptions found on the southern wall of the temple.
From time immemorial, daily rituals and sevas are being performed to the deity in accordance with Pancharatra Agama, Bhagavath Sastra traditions, and the Tenkalai Sampradaya.
It is also recorded in copper plate inscriptions that Saint Tallapaka Annamacharya visited Kosuvaripalli, had darshan of Sri Prasanna Venkataramana Swamy, and composed keertanas in praise of the deity, which are listed as the 75th and 76th Sankirtanas.
The temple possesses extensive historical significance with several land endowments donated by devotees for temple services.
In later years, the dilapidated structures including the prakaram and Dhwajasthambham were renovated, and the Kalyana Mandapam and temple Gopuram were constructed.
Samprokshanam was conducted under the supervision of the Endowments Department.
Subsequently, the temple came under the administrative control of TTD on July 7, 2010.
During the Brahmotsavams, Vahana Sevas will be conducted daily between 8a.m. and 9 a.m. and again 8 p.m. and 10p.m.
