Singapore artists participate in the Metlotsavam grand celebration in Tirupati
TIRUPATI, MARCH 14, 2026: The inner meaning of Metlotsavam is to walk on the path of righteousness and gradually climb each step in life to reach God, said Medasani Mohan, Special Officer of the TTD Annamacharya Project.
On the occasion of the 523rd death anniversary of Saint Annamacharya, the Metlotsavam was conducted in a grand manner on Saturday morning at Alipiri Padala Mandapam under the auspices of the TTD Annamacharya Project.
Speaking on the occasion, he said that since ancient times, many great devotees have walked through the Alipiri footpath to Tirumala and received the blessings of Lord Venkateswara. Participating in this sacred Metlotsavam gives great spiritual ecstasy, he added.
More than 1,000 members of Bhajan groups and renowned artists from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu are participating in the event. They will climb the seven hills chanting devotional songs and have the darshan of the Lord.
He also informed that a Saptagiri Sankeertana Group Singing programme will be held on Sunday evening, March 15, at Narayanagiri Gardens in Tirumala.
