Jewellery Adornments

Fulfilling Wishes

If any wish needs to be fulfilled, Srivaru expects some money it may be a rupee, crores or lakhs worth of jewellery. When it is offered with devotion Lord grants the devotees accordingly. It is his sport with his dear devotees.

Adorning jewels

After Abhishekam, Srivari Mulavirat is adorned with a Tilak on the forehead with PACCHA KARPOORAM AND KASTURI. And then 24 yards cotton Dhothi and on the above, a Silk Melchat Vastram of 24 yards is adorned.

This is done to take care that while adorning jewels, the icon is protected from wear and tear. After Vastram, a silk pillow draped with a silk saree is tied on the chest of Mulavirat.

On the pillow, a Plain Gold Waist Belt - SAADA VADDANAM (Plain waist belt), and NAGABHARANA VADDANAM (waist belt having snake image) is adorned. All these jewels are to be adorned in a prescribed sequence.
