Sacred garlands brought from Goda Devi temple in Tamil Nadu
The ‘Kalpa Vruksha Vahana Seva’ was performed in the Lord Venkateswara temple on Sunday as part of the nine-day annual Brahmotsavams.
Special rituals were performed to the processional deity of Lord Malayappa, who was adorned as ‘Rajamannar’, and his two consorts seated atop the golden ‘Kalpa Vruksha Vahanam’ at the Kalyanotsava Mandapam inside the temple.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
