Theppostavam at Tirumala

March 22, 2005
Tirumala

The five-day annual Theppostavam of Lord Venkateswara began on Monday on a impressive note. The processional deities of Lord, in the form of Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Sita and Hanumantha were taken around the mada streets encircling the holy shirne in grand procession before reaching the venue, Sri Vari Pushkarini.

Later, the deites were mounted on the colorfully illuminated two-tier ‘flotilla’, and were dragged around the holy tank amidst great religious fever. Huge electrical images depicting lord Vishnu in various avatharas were erected on all the sides of the holy tank, which stood as a special attraction.
