Chakrasnanam Held

On the last day morning on Tuesday of the ongoing annual Brahmotsavam fete the sacred Avabritha Chakra Snanam was performed to the holy disc-Sudarshan Chakrattalwar.

The temple priests performed ‘Snapana Tirumanjanam’ to ‘Utsavarulu’ and ‘Sri Sudarshana Chakrattalwar’ reciting ‘Purusha-Sri-Bhu Suktams’ as per ‘Vaikhanasa Agamavidhi’.

According to Hindu Scriptures, Sudarshana Chakra is a spinning, disk-like weapon with 108 serrated edges of Lord Sri Maha Vishnu. The Sudarshana Chakra may be depicted as an Ayudhapurusha (Anthropomorphic form). He is depicted as a fierce form of Vishnu and deployed for the ultimate destruction of an enemy. 

In Tirumala, ‘Chakra Snanam’ is performed to Chakrattalwar four times in a year during annual Brahmotsavams, Vaikuntha Dwadasi, Ratha Sapthami and during Anantha Padmanatbha Vratam.

Tirumala Pontiffs, Chairman Sri Karunakara Reddy, Rajya Sabha MP Sri Prabhakar Reddy, EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, TTD and district top brass officials and others were present.
