Tirumala, Jan. 23 -- On the auspicious occasion of Vasantha Panchami, the annual Visesha Puja was performed in a traditional manner at the Srivari Temple here on Friday.
Earlier, the Visesha Puja used to be conducted as a weekly seva every Monday at the Srivari Temple. However, based on the advice of Jeeyangars, archakas, and Agama scholars, and with the objective of preventing wear and tear of the Utsava idols and preserving them for future generations, the TTD Board decided to perform abhishekam only once a year.
Accordingly, it was resolved to conduct Vasanthotsavam, Sahasra Kalasabhishekam, and Visesha Puja annually.
