TTD Postpones Padmavathi Parinayotsavam

Tirumala, 30 Apr. 20: In view of ongoing COVID 19 lockdown restrictions in Tirumala, TTD has decided to postpone the three-day annual event, Sri Padmavathi Parinayotsavam which is scheduled from May 1-3.

Usually this fete is observed in a big way by TTD in Narayanagiri Gardens every year. But due to lockdown restrictions, TTD has initially decided to confine this fete inside the temple this year.  

But for that also, as it requires a bear minimum of 70 religious and non-religious staff to perform the fete, observing social distancing in the available space is not possible.

So TTD has decided to postpone the fete after consulting Sri Pedda Jiyar Swamy of Tirumala, Agama advisors and chief priests of the temple. The fresh dates of the performance of the festival will be announced later.
