Devotees throng to see Swarna Rathotsavam of Goddess Padmavati in Tiruchanur
Several devotees participated in the Swarna Rathotsavam (golden chariot festival) held as part of Vasanthotsavam at Sri Padmavati Ammavari temple in Tiruchanur, Tirupati district on Monday. According to the temple priests, the sun rays during the summer season cause severe distress and suffering and worshipping Goddess Padmavati during Vasanthotsavam removes both physical and mental heat of the devotees. The priests said that the devotees who see the idol of the Goddess on the golden chariot on the second day of Vasanthotsavam, their wishes will be fulfilled and there will be no re-birth to them. As part of the celebrations, the Goddess was awakened with Suprabhatham and Sahasranamarachana. Later, she was taken to the Swarnaratham Mandapam for a procession on golden chariot across the four Mada streets of the temple to give darshan to the devotees at 9.45 a.m. From 2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., Snapana Thirumanjanam celebration was held in Friday Garden, where abhishekam was performed with turmeric, kumkum, milk, curd, honey, sandalwood powder, and coconut water.
