Five Idols of Lord Venkateswara, Pancha Berams

In the order of preference, the idols that represent the Druva Bera are Bhoga Srinivasa, Malayappa and His two Consorts, Ugra Srinivasa and Koluvu Srinivasa. In the agamic terminology, they would stand for Kautuka, Utsava, Snapana and Bali Bera.

According to the agamic rules, the Kautuka Bera should be consecrated direct from the Druvabera and the Utsava Bera from Kautuka and similarity in that order, the Snapana and Bali Berams.

The inscriptions in the temple, however, do not mention Malayappa as Utsava Bera, nor the Bhoga Srinivasa as Kautuka Bera.
