Sri Ramakrishna Theertha Mukkoti Held with Grandeur

Sri Ramakrishna Teertha Mukkoti, one of the sacred torrents in the Tirumala Seshachalam forests, was celebrated in a grand manner on Sunday.  ​​

It is a tradition to celebrate Sri Ramakrishna Teertha Mukkoti every year on the full moon day in the auspicious month Magha.

The temple priests and staff, chanting mantras, proceeded in a procession from the Srivari temple and reached Sri Ramakrishna Teertham at around 11 AM.  

There, they performed special abhishekam to the idols of Sri Ramachandra Murthy and Sri Krishna Swamy with milk, curd, sandalwood paste, and other fragrant substances. 

At the Papavinasanam dam, Srivari Sevaks distributed pongal, upma, sambar rice, curd rice, pulihora packets, drinking water, and buttermilk packets to the devotees trekking Sri Ramakrishna Teertham. 

A medical camp was also set up at the site by the TTD medical department, and medicines were distributed to the devotees. 

The TTD Engineering and Forest department staff constructed walking paths at several places along the route for the convenience of the devotees.  

A large number of devotees participated in this program. While over 2000 devotees visited last year, this year more than 5000 devotees took a holy dip in Sri Ramakrishna Theertha Mukkoti.

All the concerned officials hailing from various departments supervised the arrangements.
