Pushpa Yagam at Sri Kalyana Venakateswara Swamy Vari Temple on 15th March Ankurarpanam on 14th March

TTD will conduct the annual Pushpayagam at the Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple on March 15 in a traditional manner.

As part of the rituals, Senadhipati Utsavam and Ankurarpanam will be observed on March 14 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

It may be recalled that the Annual Brahmotsavams were held in the temple from February 8 to 16. Pushpayagam is performed as a ritual of expiation for any known or unknown lapses that might have occurred during the Brahmotsavams by priests, officials, staff or devotees. It is believed that the performance of this sacred ritual absolves all such doshas.

On March 15, Snapana Tirumanjanam will be conducted to the Utsava deities of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy along with Sri Devi and Bhu Devi from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. The deities will be offered Abhishekam with milk, curd, honey, turmeric, sandalwood paste and coconut water.

Pushpayagam will be performed from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM with offerings of various flowers including Tulasi, Chrysanthemum, Oleander, Jasmine, Sampangi, Rose and Lotus.

Later, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, the deities will bless devotees by taking out a procession along the four Mada Streets of the temple.

Tickets will be available at the temple from March 14 onwards. Gruhasthas (two persons) can participate in the Pushpayagam by purchasing a ticket at Rs. 516.

In view of Pushpayagam, the Nitya Kalyanotsavam Seva stands cancelled on March 15.
