The Utsavars of the lords were brought from Tirumal to perform this Srinivasa Kalyanam at MARG Swarnabhoomi in Seekinankuppam. The Archakas came from Tirumala to perform the rituals of Srinivasa Kalyanam.
It was a great opportunity for the public to participate in this function free of cost and to seek the blessings of the lord and the goddesses.
A similar event was held in Chennai in 2008 at the Island Grounds and in 2006 at Koyambedu. This was if not more, was as successful as that. With all the facilities in place. There were hundreds of buses that were arranged to bring in people from various parts of the city. Twenty four archakas were performing the rituals of this holy event.
The gods had a stage with a big crown at the centre and two golden wheels at the sides and a Garuda bird with big wings. As the gods Lord Venkateswara, Godess Sridevi, bhoomidevi and alamaelumangaiyaar appeared to the eyes of the onlookers, they all shout “Govinda Govinda” and there was a strong divine vibe all over the 1000 acre MARG Swarnabhoomi.
