ANIVARA ASTHANAM ON JULY 16 AT TTD TEMPLES
The Anivara Asthanam festival will be observed with religious fervor on July 16 at Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple and Sri Kodanda Rama Swamy Temple in Tirupati.
Anivara Asthanam, annual budget fete traditionally conducted on the last day of the Tamil month Ani, marks the ceremonial offering of accounts. Historically, it was the day when Mahants assumed administrative responsibilities, and annual income expenditure accounts began from this day. However, with the formation of the TTD Trust Board, the fiscal year was aligned to April–March.
The Asthanam will be conducted between 5.30 PM and 6.30 PM at the Bangaru Vakili with the processional deities of Sri Govindaraja Swamy along with Sridevi and Bhudevi.
On the occasion, new garments will be brought ceremonially from the Pundarikavalli Ammavari temple and presented to the deity.
The Asthanam will be held between 4 PM and 5 PM with the processional deities of Sri Kodanda Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. New garments will be offered to the presiding and processional deities on the occasion.
Tirumala Jeeyar Swamijis and temple officials will participate in the ceremonies.
