The 76th death anniversary of Sri Veturi Prabhakara Sastry, who brought the valuable literary works of Tallapaka Annamacharya to light, will be observed in Tirupati on August 29.

TTD officials will pay floral tributes to his bronze statue in front of SVETA Bhavan at 9 am. A literary seminar on his services will be held at Annamacharya Kala Mandir at 10.30 am.

Veturi Prabhakara Sastry played a key role in bringing Annamayya’s devotional literature, which remained unnoticed for nearly 400 years, to the public. His contribution to Telugu devotional literature remains memorable.
