Dhanurmasa Muthangi Alankaram & Neerattotsavam 2026 – Sri Govindarajaswamy Temple Tirupati

 

On the auspicious occasion of Dhanurmasa, Sri Govindaraja Swamy at the sacred Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple in Tirupati was adorned with the exquisite Pearl (Muthangi) Alankaram to the Mula Virat. Devotees who had darshan of the Lord in this resplendent attire were left deeply mesmerized and spiritually elevated.

As per tradition, during Dhanurmasa every year, Sri Govindaraja Swamy blesses devotees in Muthangi Alankaram for an entire month. This year, devotees can have darshan of the deity in this special alankaram until January 17.

Adding to the festive grandeur, the Neerattotsavam is being conducted at the Sri Andal Ammavari Temple, which is attached to the Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple, from January 6. On Monday, Sri Andal Ammavaru proceeded in a ceremonial procession to the ancient Ammavari Temple located on Akuthota Street, Tirupati, where special poojas were performed.

Responding to the heartfelt wishes of devotees, TTD has revived this traditional event after a gap of 15 years, bringing joy and devotion to the community once again.
