Dates:
April 25 – 27, 2026
Venue: Parinayotsava Mandapam, Narayangiri Gardens, Tirumala
The Celestial Wedding of
Sri Srinivasa
The annual Sri
Padmavati Srinivasa Parinayotsavam is one of the most cherished festivals
in Tirumala, celebrated with grandeur and devotion. This three-day divine
wedding ceremony unites Sri Srinivasa with Goddess Padmavati,
accompanied by Sridevi and Bhudevi, amidst Vedic chants, music, and spiritual
fervor.
According to the Puranas,
nearly five thousand years ago, at the dawn of Kali Yuga, Sri Maha Vishnu
descended from Vaikuntha as Sri Venkateswara to bless humanity. This
celestial wedding is a symbolic re-enactment of that divine union, reminding
devotees of the eternal bond between the Lord and His consort.
Festival Schedule
Each day of the
Parinayotsavam is marked by unique rituals and vahana sevas:
- Day 1 (April 25):
Sri Malayappa Swamy on Gaja Vahanam
- Day 2 (April 26):
Sri Malayappa Swamy on Aswa Vahanam
- Day 3 (April 27):
Sri Malayappa Swamy on Garuda Vahanam
The celebrations take
place at the Parinayotsava Mandapam in Narayangiri Gardens, where
thousands of devotees gather to witness the divine spectacle.
Seva Updates from TTD
To facilitate the smooth
conduct of the festival, TTD has cancelled Arjita Brahmotsavam and Sahasra
Deepalankara Sevas on all three days. Devotees planning their visit should
take note of these changes while booking darshan and seva tickets.
Spiritual Significance
The Parinayotsavam is
organized annually by TTD (Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams) around Vaisakha
Shuddha Dashami Tithi. It is celebrated one day before and one day after
this auspicious date, symbolizing the eternal union of Lord Srinivasa and
Goddess Padmavati.
For devotees, participating in this festival is believed to bring blessings of marital harmony, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment.
