Fervour and cheer marked the procession of the golden chariot organised on the second day of the ongoing three-day annual ‘vasanthotsavams’ of Lord Venkateswara here on Monday.
The processional deity Lord Malayappa, flanked on either side by his two divine consorts, mounted atop the chariot was taken across the temple town. Scores of devotees lined up on either side of the mada streets to catch a glimpse of the grand procession which lasted for about two hours.
Later, the deities were taken to the venue, the ‘vasanthotsava’ mandapam situated at the south-west corner of the town, where they were given a celestial bath amid the chantings of ‘pancha-suktas’ by vedic scholars.
