Skip to content Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy – Brahmotsavams
This year Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Brahmotsavams will be performed from 17- 02-2025 to 26-02-2025 in Srinivasa Mangapuram.
The ancient temple of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy is located in Srinivasa Mangapuram, about 12 km to the west of Tirupati, A.P. Legend has it that Sri Venkateswara Swamy stayed here after his marriage with Sri Padmavathi Devi on the advice of sage Agasthya.
It is believed that devotees who take part in the ‘Kalyana Utsavam’ and tie a ‘Sacred thread’ on their hand, can find their best, most beloved life partner in life. Annual Brahmotsavams are performed to Swamy in February every year for 9 days.
