The three day annual ‘pavithrotsavam’ began at the hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara on Saturday.
The celestial ‘Snapana Thirumanjanam’ was performed to the processional deities of Lord Malayappa swamy and his two consorts at the Sampangi Prakaram inside the main temple. Later the deities were adorned with the sacred garlands, which were made of silk threads.
The main intention behind performing the holy ritual is to seek pardon for the sins, commissions and omissions being committed knowingly or unknowingly during the performance of various rituals in the temple. As a prelude to the festival, ‘Ankurarpanam’ was performed on Friday evening.
