A special ceremony took place on Sunday in Palem village, located in the Bijinapally Mandal of Nagar Kurnool. Devotees of Sri Alarmel Mangal Sametha Venkateshwara Swami gathered to witness a heartfelt offering. A couple, Oruganti Anand and Rajitha, presented a gold mangalsutra to the deity as a symbol of their faith and devotion.
The chief priest of the Mukku Pudaka Temple, Kuravi Ramanujanacharyulu, led the ritual. He officially tied the mangalsutra before the deity, completing the sacred offering. The gold mangalsutra was valued at around Rs. 37,000. After the ritual, special poojas were performed, and the temple priests decorated the deity in a traditional way.
After the ceremony, the priests gave their blessings to the devotee family. They prayed that the divine grace of Sri Alarmel Mangal Sametha Venkateshwara Swami and his consort would always protect and bless them. The event was also attended by other temple priests, including Jayanta Kumar and Chakrapani.
This ceremony reflected the strong cultural and spiritual traditions of the community. It was a beautiful display of devotion, as devotees sought divine blessings for their families’ well-being and prosperity.
