Padmavati Parinayam discourse held in Sri City

Sri City: The mesmerising performance of Padmavati Parinayam Harikatha Ganam captivated devotees in Sri City. Organised by Srivani, the spiritual and literary forum of Sri City and sponsored by the TTD, on Sunday, the event featured the renowned Harikatha exponent, ‘Harikatha Durandhara’ Y Venkateswarlu Bhagavatar.

Through a harmonious blend of song, narration and expressive gestures, the Bhagavatar eloquently recounted the divine marriage of Lord Srinivasa and Goddess Padmavati.

The Bhagavatar was accompanied by skilled musicians – Reddy Shankar on Tabla, S Murali on Keyboard, G Srinivasulu on Sruthi, and Vijaya Chandra on Rhythm pod.
