Special Kalasabhishekam to be held at Tirumala temple on June 9

Tirupati: The hill temple of Tirumala is gearing up to conduct special Sahasra Kalasabhishekam to Bhoga Srinivasa Murthy, the miniature silver replica of the presiding deity of Venkateswara Swamy on June 9. Usually Sahasra Kalasabhishekam is a weekly ritual observed on every Wednesday with special abhishekam with sacred waters in 1008 kalasas.

But TTD has been observing the special Sahasra Kalasabhishekam for the past 13 years commemorating the occasion of the dedication of Bhoga Srinivasa Murthy in Tirumala temple by Pallava Queen Samavai who was also known as Perundevi in 614AD. This celestial ritual will be observed at 'Bangaru Vakili' (Golden entrance) between 6 a.m and 8 a.m.
