Koil Alwar Thirumanjanam on July 12

‘Koil Alwar Thirumanjanam' will be observed at the famous hill temple of Lord Venkateswara on July 12. The festival will be conducted as a prelude to the annual ‘Anivara Asthanam’ scheduled on July 16.

For the records the festival is conducted only four times in a year. It is normally observed on the preceding Tuesday ahead of Vaikunta Ekadasi, Ugadi, Anivara asthanam and Brahmotsavams.

As part of the festival the entire temple complex including the inner precincts of the hill temple and the Garbahlayam, will be thoroughly cleaned.
