TIRUPATI/VONTIMITTA, APRIL 01, 2026: As part of the annual Brahmotsavams of Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple in Vontimitta, on the sixth day, Wednesday morning, Lord Sri Kodandarama Swamy appeared in the divine Shiva Dhanurbhanga Alankaram, delighting devotees with His majestic presence.
The procession of the Lord commenced grandly at 7:30 AM. Accompanied by Kerala drums, traditional chekka bhajans by devotional groups, and colourful kolatam performances, the procession proceeded in a vibrant and festive atmosphere amidst auspicious musical instruments. Devotees offered camphor haratis at every step and had darshan of the Lord.
The Shiva Dhanurbhanga Alankaram symbolises the sacred episode from the Swayamvara, where Lord Sri Rama breaks Lord Shiva’s bow and marries Goddess Sita. On the day of the celestial wedding of Sita and Rama, the Lord blessed devotees with this divine adornment.
