Tirupati: For the first time ever the auspicious Varalakshmi Vratham pooja to be held on July 31, 2020 at the Tiruchanur Sri Padmavathi Ammavari Temple will be held virtually due to COVID-19 lockdown restriction.
The auspicious festival of Varalakshmi Vratham pooja will be followed virtually and devotees who had booked tickets for ‘darshan’ will be sent prasadam kits via Indian post.
The devotees will not be allowed to participate in Varalakshmi Vratham pooja for Godess Laxmi this year due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
In view of devotees sentiment Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams(TTD) is giving an opportunity to devotees to participate in the ritual via online. The pooja is conducted privately in Padmavathi Ammavari Temple (PAT).
While speaking to Zee Media, Padmavathi Temple Chief priest Shri Babu Swami said, “For the safety and welfare of all TTD has decided to live telecast the holy event on Sri Venkateswara Bhakti Channel (SVBC – TTD’S) from 10 am to 12 noon. The devout can participate in the ritual by sitting at their home even who have not purchased tickets” he added.
Mass rituals have strictly been cancelled and devotees have been requested to follow the ‘pooja’ virtually and those who booked tickets will get prasadam kit by post.
