Preparations on for a grand Sita Rama Kalyanam at Bhadradri
The Hindu
Unlike last year, when the divine Sri Sita Rama Kalyanam was performed in a simple manner at the historic Sri Sitaramachandra Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year the celestial wedding is all set to be conducted on a grand scale in the presence of devotees on April 21.
The historic temple will host the ‘Vasantha Paksha Tiru Kalyana Brahmotsavams’ from April 13 to 27. Last year, the pandemic forced low-key celebration of the celestial wedding, devoid of devotees, at Nitya Kalyana Mandapam instead of Mithila stadium, the regular venue of the annual holy event. The temple revenues plummeted to an all-time low in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
