Vengamamba Stone Mandapam Fete on 3rd June

As per tradition Sri Malayappa Swamy and His consorts will pay a ceremonial visit to rock Mandapam of one of His ardent devotees Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba on June 3.

 

It is a well-known practice that every year 10 days after Sri Narasimha Jayanti, Sri Malayappa accompanied by His consorts goes on a procession to the rock mandapam located on North Mada Street and receives her hospitality followed by Asthanam after Sahasra Deepalankara Seva.

 

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

 

It is Historically known that the stone house of Saint Poet Sri Tallapaka Annamacharya was also happened to be the home to Sri Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba whenever she visited Tirumala.

 

In those days Annamacharya built a Mantapam in front of his home for performing utsavas and reception for the entourage of Sri Malayappa. Pundits say that Vengamamba also continued the practice of organising grand reception to Sri Malayappa in the mantapam.

 

The tradition is continued by TTD even to date on the Tenth day from Narasimha Jayanti.
