Today January 11,2014; Vijaya Varusha Margazhi Karthigai, Sarva Vaikunta Mukkodi Ekadasi, was celebrated in grand manner at Sri Venkateswara Divya Desam, Tirumala.
Tens of thousands of devotees thronged Tirumala on the most important and auspicious day of Vaikunta Ekadasi on Saturday and witnessed not only the grandeur of Lord Venkateswara but also experienced the memorable experience of entering into Vaikuntha Dwaram which is opened only on two days in a year – Vaikuntha Ekadasi and Dwadasi – consecutively. Vaikunta Dwaram was opened early morning. Thereafter, at around 9 am, the processional deity Sri Malayappaswamy along with Ubhaya Nachiyars had purappadu on golden Chariot around four mada streets.
The following are some of the photographs taken earlier today during the Thiruther utsavam…
