PAVITROTSAVAMS COMMENCES IN SRINIVASA MANGAPURAM
Srinivasa Mangapuram, 19 october 2014: The three-day annual ‘Pavitrotsavam’ at Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Srinivasa Mangapuram got off to a spiritual start on Sunday.
Temple priests conducted ‘homam’ in the specially prepared ‘yagasala’ and performed ‘Snapana Tirumanajanam’, later in the evening to the processional deity of Lord Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy and His consorts amidst chanting of verses from the scriptures.
The objective behind performing ‘Pavitrotsavam’ every year in the temples is to seek the pardon of the deity for any act of commission and omission committed inadvertently by the priests, by the temple authorities or by the visiting pilgrims and restore the purity in its original pristine form.
DyEO Sri EC Sridhar, AEO Sri Dhananjeyulu, Supdt Sri Dinakar Raju, Sri N Krishna Rao, Temple Inspector Sri Achu Ramesh Babu, Temple Staff and others took part in this festival.
