Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam gets ready for Rathasapthami
Posted on: 27/Jan/2014 11:29:18 AM
Annual Rathasapthami festival will be conducted on February 6 by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam. This festival is also known as �Surya Jayanthi�. There is a great importance for this festival since as the Lord will be brought out of the temple in a grand procession on as many as seven different vahanams (Celestial carriers) in a single day. The day which shall commence with �Surya prabha� vahanam even before the break of dawn concludes with �Chandraprabha vahanam� in the night.
Meanwhile, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) management is leaving no stone unturned in meeting the requirements of the visiting pilgrims which unlike during the previous years is expected to be at its peak. Provisions for setting up drinking water taps and erection of pandals are being identified as thousands of devotees prefer remaining settled on the granite steps all along the mada streets witnessing the divine processions which shall be conducted at regular intervals.
Expert swimmers have been roped-in to meet any exigencies during �Chakrasnanam� that shall be organised the same afternoon.
