Singapore’s Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple makes history as the first and only temple outside India to receive divine deities from Tirupati Sri Venkateswara Temple. Receive blessings of Sri Venkateswara Temple’s magnificent Utsava Murtis (processional deities) when they arrive here at Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple. The centuries old Sri Venkateswara Temple is known by all as the most venerated and richest temple in the world. Ancient Hindu texts clearly declare that, in the Kali Yuga or in today’s day and age, one can attain mukti (liberation), only by worshipping Sri Venkateswara.
The highlight of the 4-day visit of the Utsava Murtis will be the Thiru Kalyaana Mahotsavam (Divine Marriage Ceremony) of Lord Venkateswara and his consorts. This important event takes place on Saturday, 19 July 2008 at 5.00pm. |

ABOUT THE SPECIAL SEVAS / CEREMONIES
Suprabatham
‘Suprabatham’ is the first and foremost seva at Tirumala. Suprabhatam signifies the ritual performed to wake up the Lord from His celestial sleep, amidst chanting of the hymns. It is believed that Lord Venkateswara will bestow prosperity in abundance to devotees who recite this prayer every morning.
Thomala Seva
‘Thomala’ denotes the decoration of the deities with floral and tulasi garlands. It is believed that the Lord’s contentment will bring peace to devotees’ minds.
108 Kalasa Thirumanjanam
This is a most unique and exquisite seva offered to Lord Venkateswara. Thirumanjanam is another form of Abhishekam and devotees witnessing this seva will receive His highest blessings.
Thiru Kalyaana Mahotsavam
Thiru Kalyaana Mahotsavam (divine marriage ceremony) is performed to the utsava murti of Lord Sri Venkateswara and his consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi. It is the believe that when you participate and witness the divine marriage ceremony it brings everlasting happiness in the family, blessings for the unmarried to be blessed with the right life partner and prosperity to all. |
