Koil Alwar Tirumanjam Held
In connection with Telugu Ugadi on April 9, Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam was held in Tirumala temple on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion TTD Chairman Sri Karunakara Reddy said, Koil Alwar Tirumanjanam is a traditional temple cleaning ritual that is being observed four times in a year before Anivara Asthanam, Annual Brahmotsavam, Vaikuntha Ekadasi and Telugu Ugadi.
As a part of this cleaning fete, the entire temple including the roofs, walls, puja utensils in the sanctum santorum and in sub-shrines were smeared with an aromatic mixture called Parimalam.
Later devotees were allowed for darshan of Sri Venkateswara Swamy.
TTD has cancelled Astadala Pada Padmaradhana seva in view of the ritual.
TTD EO Sri AV Dharma Reddy, DLO Sri Veeraju, temple DyEO Sri Lokanatham, Peishkar Sri Srihari and others were present.
