Lord Tirupati Balaji arrives for his wedding

MUMBAI: Even as devotees prepare to welcome the Mother Goddess on Tuesday for Navratri, the city will receive another set of honoured guests in Tirupati's Lord Balaji and his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi. The "marriage ceremony" of the deities will be held at a function at Shanmukhananda Hall from October 17 to 18.

At Tirupati, the ritual is performed everyday. Mumbaikars, who await their turn to attend the nuptials in the Andhra Pradesh shrine, have an opportunity to witness it at home. Sixty priests from the temple will bring the idols for the 'Srinivasa Kalyanam' ceremony.

"Not everybody can visit Tirupati. We thought of bringing the idols to Mumbai so that we can pray for peace in the city," said V Shankar, president of the Shanumkhananda Sabha.

On the evening of October 16, priests from the Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam ( TTD) will conduct the 'Vasanthotsavam' ceremony, where perfume will be applied to the idols amid Vedic chants. "Abhishek will be performed with holy water, milk, curd, honey, turmeric and sandal paste before the special pujas begin. This is the first time the ritual is being conducted outside Tirupati," says representative K A Viswanathan. The Vasanthotsavam ceremony is open to all devotees but the marriage rituals are restricted to invitees. Public darshan is available on all three days from 8.30am to 11.30 am.
