The temple was decorated with various hues of aromatic flowers and fruits
Religious fervour marked the Telugu Plava nama Ugadi celebrations at the temple of Lord Venkateswara here on Tuesday.
Special rituals were conducted inside the temple welcoming the new year. Soon after the completion of the pre-dawn rituals “Visesha samarpana” was rendered to the deities of Malayappa and his two divine consorts followed by a grand procession around the Vimana Prakaram inside the hill temple.
Later, the presiding deity was ceremoniously adorned with new silk robes and the event was followed by Asthanam and the traditional Panchanga Sravanam at Bangaru Vakili (golden gate) inside the temple.
Unfortunate to reinstate a person who made baseless charges, says TDP chief
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu said that a human will always remain a human and can never become a god. It is wrong to presume that he is above or equal to the Almighty or himself is a god.
His statement assumes significance in the backdrop of the former Tirumala chief priest A.V. Ramana Deekshitulu purportedly characterising Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy as another incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu, a couple of days back at Tadepalli near Vijayawada.
In another apparent dig at Mr. Deekshitulu, he said it was unfortunate to reinstate a person who had levelled baseless allegations with regard to the loss of pink diamond.

The UDF is proposing something revolutionary.Something that has never been tried in any Indian state before, Gandhi told a UDF meeting organised at Vellamunda in Mananthavady. Gandhi, who reached the venue after offering prayers at the ancient Lord Mahavishnu Temple in Thirunelli, said the idea of NYAY was very simple.
