The Jathara at the temple is one of the most awaited and vibrant celebrations of the year. It is a time when thousands of devotees gather with pure devotion to seek the blessings of Lord Venkateshwara Swamy. The temple premises come alive with colorful decorations, traditional music, and the joyful spirit of the devotees.
One of the highlights of the Jathara is the grand Rathotsavam (chariot festival), where the beautifully adorned idol of the Lord is taken around the temple in a majestic procession. Devotees pull the chariot with ropes, singing bhajans and offering prayers with utmost devotion. It is a mesmerizing sight symbolizing the journey of life with the Lord leading the way.
Another important aspect of the Jathara is Annadanam — the sacred offering of free meals to all devotees. It reflects the spirit of service and compassion that is at the heart of Sanatana Dharma. Everyone, irrespective of caste, creed, or status, shares food together, symbolizing unity and equality.
In the serene surroundings of our temple, a heartwarming gathering of women came together, filling the air with soulful prayers and devotional bhajans. Their voices, rising in unity, created a divine vibration that blessed the entire atmosphere with peace and joy. Such sacred moments remind us that devotion knows no boundaries and that collective prayer strengthens the spiritual energy of a place.
