Parinaya Utsavam at Tirumala

Tirumala, May 13 (UNI) Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) today celebrated the Padmavathi Parinaya Utsavam at Narayana Gardens.

On the first day of the three-day event, the processional deity of Lord Malayappaswamy and his consort Padmavathi were taken in a ceremonial procession on 'Chinnasesha Vahanam' from the Sri Venkateswara Temple to the Padmavathi Parinaya Mandapam along with his consort Padmavathi on a palanquin.

The priests performed poojas with vedic hymns to the Lord in the mandapam.
