TIRUMALA, DECEMBER 14, 2025: Tiruppavai Pasura Parayanam will replace Suprabhata Seva from December 17 onwards in Tirumala temple as Dhanurmasam commences at 1.23 PM on December 16.
Every year during the auspicious Dhanurmasam, one among the 12 Alwars, Andal Sri Goda Devi, the only female Alwar, penned 30 Pasurams and on each day one Pasuram is recited in Ekantam till January 14 before the presiding deity of Sri Venkateswara Swamy instead of Suprabhatam, which is in vogue for several centuries.
This is a common religious practice in all the Sri Vaishnavaite temples across the country in this holy month.
Even during Ekanta Seva inside the temple in the late night, instead of Bhoga Srinivasa Murty, the idol of Sri Krishna Swamy is being worshipped on the swing.
Another unique feature is Sahasra Namarchana to Srivaru is rendered with Bilwa leaves. The parrots(replicas) brought from Sri Villiputtur of Tamil Nadu will be decorated for the main deity.
