Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsava Utsavam at Srinivasa Mangapuram Temple
Various utsavas are performed by the T.T.D. every year on different occasions to Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swami in Srinivasamangapuram. One among them is the annual ‘Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsava utsavam’. This utsavam is conducted for three days in Ashadamasam.
According to the sthalapurana, it is said that Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swami appeared in the dream to an ‘Archaka’ and ordered him to see that the temple area to be cleaned and pujas to be continued in a great way without any interruption. As such, the archaka proceeded with the work and started pujas.
Taking this as an auspicious occasion, the T.T.D. started celebrating ‘Sakshatkara Vaibhavotsavams’. As part of this, from then a three-day ritual is performed. On all three days, the deities are given sacred baths and in the evening swami along with His Consorts are taken out in a procession to bless the devotees.
Three-Day Ritual
Every day there will be Snapana Tirumanjanam to the Utsava deities Sri Bhu Sameta Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy between 10 am and 11 am while in the evening of the first day, Pedda Sesha, second-day Hanumantha and on the last day Garuda Vahanams will be performed between 7 pm and 8 pm.
Let us all participate in this occasion and be blessed.
