Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam Performed Grandly at Sri Kodanada Rama Swamy Vari Temple, Vontimitta

The Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam ritual was performed with great grandeur on Tuesday morning at the Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple in Vontimitta.

As the annual Brahmotsavams of the temple are scheduled to be held from March 27 to April 5, this traditional purification ceremony was conducted as a customary prelude to the festivities.

On this occasion, the Lord was awakened with Suprabhatam in the morning, followed by Archana. Thereafter, Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam was performed from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM.

As part of the ritual, the sanctum sanctorum, the shrines of Sri Anjaneya Swamy and Garutmanta, the temple premises, walls, ceilings, and puja materials were thoroughly cleansed with water. Subsequently, a sacred mixture prepared with aromatic ingredients such as Namakoppu, Srichurnam, kasturi turmeric, betel leaves, edible camphor, sandalwood powder, kumkum, and other fragrant substances was sprinkled throughout the temple परिसर.

Devotees were allowed for Sarva Darshan from 11:30 AM onwards.

Deputy EO Smt. Prasanthi, Temple Inspector Sri Naveen, temple priests, and other officials participated in the program.
