Grand Procession of Mutyala Talambralu

On Saturday morning, as part of the Sri Sitaramula Kalyanam celebrations, the Mutyala Talambralu (pearls used in the sacred wedding ritual) were taken out in a grand procession at Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple, Tirupati.

First, special pujas were performed for the pearls by TTD officials at the Treasury Department in the TTD Administrative Building.

Later, the pearls were ceremoniously handed over to the temple’s chief priest, Sri Anand Kumar Deekshitulu, and carried in a procession on an ambari (decorated elephant mount). The procession passed through Teerthakatta Street, Gandhi Road, Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple South Mada Street, and Bazaar Street, before reaching the temple.

Deputy EO Smt. Nagaratna, Temple Inspector Sri Suresh, other officials, Srivari Sevaks, and a large number of devotees participated in the event.
