The consecration of Sri Anantha Krishna Swamy amid eight Maha Nagas was performed at Dokiparru Mahakshetram in Gudlavalleru mandal on Sunday, drawing a large number of devotees.
The consecration of the presiding deity, along with the temple, mandapam and gopuram deities, was performed during Uttarashada Nakshatra and Dhanur Lagnam in accordance with Agama traditions. The ceremonies culminated in the Kumbhabhishekam.
The rituals began with Viswaksena Aradhana, followed by special homams, Vedic ceremonies and Maha Purnahuti. The Shanti Kalyanam of Sri Navaneetha Krishna Swamy and his consort Rukmini was also performed.
The main ceremony was preceded by four days of rituals, including homams and yagnas conducted by Vedic scholars.
Temple founder and trustee Sudha Reddy said the presence of eight Maha Nagas alongside Sri Anantha Krishna Swamy in a single mandapam, symbolically encircling Lord Venkateswara, was a rare and distinctive feature of the Mahakshetram.
The temple complex was illuminated and decorated with floral arrangements. Devotees offered prayers to the deities and fulfilled their vows.
MEIL CEO P.V. Subba Reddy and his wife Sumalatha, Sudha Reddy, Kommareddy Bapireddy, Vijaya Bhaskaramma, Pamireddy Venkateswara Reddy, Prameela Rani and other guests, along with their family members, participated in the event.
