The holy Dhanvantari Venkateswara Swamy Kalyanam was celebrated with great devotion and grandeur on Monday in Uttanur village. The event took place at the temple dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari Venkateswara Swamy and drew devotees from nearby areas.
Temple priests, including Vasudevayya and Satyam, led the celestial wedding ceremony of the utsava deities. Lord Dhanvantari Venkateswara Swamy was united in a divine ritual with Sridevi and Bhudevi. The vibrant ceremony featured the traditional Muthyala Thalambralu, where pearls and rice grains were showered over the deities as part of the sacred wedding rituals.
After the kalyanam, the utsava idols were placed on a small chariot for a grand procession through the village. The chariot was pulled by villagers, who enthusiastically joined in with devotional chants and hymns. The procession ended at Dashamikatta, filling the streets with an atmosphere of faith and celebration.
The event coincided with the full moon day (Purnima), which added to its significance. Devotees from surrounding areas flocked to the temple to witness the kalyanam and take part in the chariot festival, known as Rathotsavam. The celebrations highlighted the region’s deep spiritual devotion and cultural richness, leaving attendees deeply moved and joyful.
