In view of the COVID-19 situation, the annual Vasanthotsavam (spring festival) at Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple in Tiruchanur here will be performed ‘Ekantham’ (in private) from May 6 to 8.
As the TTD’s restriction on darshan continues as part of the measures taken to check the spread of coronavirus, the festival will be performed sans devotees.
Snapana Tirumanjanam (celestial bath) will be given to the processional deity of Goddess Padmavati everyday between 2.30 p.m. and 4.30 p.m. and the procession will be taken out from 7 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. on the temple’s inner precincts, within the compound on the three days.
In a press release, the TTD announced cancellation of Kalyanotsavam and Sahasra Deepalankara Seva from May 5 to 8, Ashtottara Sata Kalasabhishekam on May 7, Tiruppavada Seva on May 7 and Lakshmi Puja on May 8.
