TIRUPATI, MARCH 20, 2026: as part of the annual Brahmotsavams of Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple in Tirupati, on the third day, Thursday evening at 7 PM, Lord Sri Kodandarama Swamy along with Sita and Lakshmana blessed devotees while seated on the Pearl Palanquin.
With elephants, bulls, and horses leading the procession, devotional singing groups performed bhajans and kolatam dances as the Lord moved through the four mada streeAts surrounding the temple.
The darshan of the Lord on the Pearl Palanquin, which brings joy to the mind, gave devotees immense bliss. According to astrology, pearls are considered symbolic of the Moon. It is believed that darshan of the Lord beneath the pearl canopy removes hardships and grants peace and coolness to the lives of devotees.
In this vahanaseva, Temple Deputy EO Nagaratna, Temple Inspector Suresh, temple priests, and a large number of devotees participated.
