Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam at Sri Kodandarama Swamy Vari Temple on 13th March

Koil Alwar Thirumanjanam will be observed at the Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple in Tirupati on March 13. The ritual is traditionally performed ahead of the annual Brahmotsavams, which are scheduled to be held at the temple from March 17 to 25.

On this occasion, the Lord will be awakened with Suprabhatam in the early hours of March 13, followed by Thomala Seva, Koluvu and Panchanga Sravanam. The Koil Alwar Thirumanjanam will take place from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM.

During the ritual, the temple premises including walls, ceilings and puja articles will first be cleansed with water. Later, a sacred aromatic mixture prepared with ingredients such as Namakopu, Srichurnam, musk turmeric, betel leaves, edible camphor, sandalwood powder, kumkum and other fragrant substances will be sprinkled throughout the temple as part of the purification process.

After completion of the ritual, devotees will be allowed for darshan.
