The three-day annual ‘Jyestabhishekam’ culminated in a grand note on Sunday at the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara.
In connection with the pompous festival, ‘Snapana Thirumanjanam’ was conducted to the deities of Lord Malayappa Swamy and His two divine consorts by the temple priests amid chanting of vedic hymns by a contingent of scholars followed by ‘Poornahuti’ at the yagasala inside the main temple complex. Later, the deities were ceremoniously adorned with the ‘Abhidheyaka Kavacham’ (Golden armour) signalling the conclusion of the grand fete. The deities were then taken out in a grand procession around the thoroughfares of the temple town.
Prominent among those who took part in the festival include TTD’s EO D. Sambasiva Rao, JEO KS Srinivasa Raju, member trustees G. Bhanuprakash Reddy and P. Hari Prasad.
