Pavitrotsavams at Srivari Templ from 18th to 20th August

TTD is organizing the annual Pavitrotsavsm mahotsavam at Srivari temple in ekantham from August 18-20 with Ankurarpanam on August 17 in view of COVID-19 guidelines.

 

Puranic legends show that the unique mahotsavam was conducted in all vaishnavite temples since 15th century and revived by TTD in 1962 to ward off bad impact of any lapses during yearlong rituals and utsavas by either devotees or archakas.

 

As part of the festivities snapana thirumanjanam is performed daily to utsava idols of Sri Malayappa swamy and his consorts. Thereafter in the evening the well bejewelled utsava idols of Swami and consorts are taken out in procession on the mada streets.

 

As part of the festivities the Pavitra pratista is observed on August 18, Pavitra Samarpana on August 19 and Purnahuti is performed on August 20.

 

In view of the Pavitrotsavam celebrations at Srivari Temple the TTD has cancelled all virtual arjita sevas of Kalyanotsavam, Unjal seva, arjita brahmotsavam and Sahara Dipalankara Sevas from August17- 20.
