The three-day annual Sri Padmavati Srinivasa Parinayotsavams began with a great religious splendour on Saturday evening at the Dashavatara-Ashtalakshmi Mandapam in  Narayangiri Gardens at Tirumala .

Adorned with colourful flowers emitting diverse fragrances to resemble heaven on earth, the event will run until April 27.
