The bejewelled deity of Goddess Padmavathi Ammavaru at the Varalakshmi Vratam festivities observed at the Tiruchanur temple was a sight to behold for devotees here on Friday.
The event was held at the Asthana Mandapam abutting the temple, where the deity was carried in a procession, seated on a colourfully-decorated platform called ‘Padma Peetham’ which was decked up in flowers of all hues. Considered as one of the most important festivals celebrated by women, it is also a major annual event for the temple dedicated to Goddess Padmavathi.
