Maha Kumbhabhishekam Held for Chennai Padmavathi Ammavari Temple

The presiding deity of Tiruchanoor Sri Padmavathi Ammavaru has now appeared in the form of Sri Padmavathi Tayar in Chennai blessing the denizens, said HH Sri Swaroopanandendra Saraswati Maha Swamy of Visakha Sarada Peetham.

The Pontiff graced for the Maha Kumbhabhishekam of Sri Padmavathi Tayar temple in GN Chetti Road at Chennai on Friday.
