Fervour marked the annual Anivara Asthanam festival at the temple of Lord Venkateswara on Monday.
As part of the celebrations, Asthanam was conducted to the deities of Lord Malayappa and his two consorts seated on the golden Sarva Bhoopala Vahanam facing the main deity at the ‘bangaru vakili’ followed by special rituals to the presiding and utsava deities.
In accordance with laid-down tradition, priests handed over a bunch of keys relating to the treasury and accounts to pontiffs and TTD Executive Officer A.V. Dharma Reddy which were later placed at the feet of the deity to mark the beginning of a new financial year.
