Tirumala: The annual Pavitrotsavams off to a spiritual start with Pavithra Pratishta on Tuesday morning in the famed Sri Venkateswara temple in Tirumala. On the special religious occasion, Snapana Tirumanjanam (celestial bath) was performed to processional deities in Kalyanotsava Mandapam amidst chanting of hymns from scriptures after performing Homam and other rituals in the Yagasala in the shrine.

This religious ceremony which would be performed once in a year in the temple for three days is penitential as well as propitiatory. This ceremony is also known as Dosha Nivaarana. In the evening, Lord Malayappa flanked by his two consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi was taken in procession in the Mada streets around the temple.

On the second day of Wednesday, ‘Pavithra Samarpana’ to the deities would be held and the three-day religious event would be concluded with Poornahuthi on Thursday. TTD has cancelled Arjitha sevas in connection with this fete. TTD EO Anil Kumar Singhal took part in this festival.
