Yadadri-Bhongir: The 11-day annual brahmotsavams of Sri Yadadri Sri Lakshminarsimha Swamy began on Monday amid rituals performed by the temple priests.
The brahmotsavams began at Balalayam with Vishwaksena pooja and Swasthi Vachan chanted by vedic pandits. The temple priests also performed Rakshabandhan at the Balalayam.
Since the brahmotsavams are being held at Balalayam even as development works were going on at the main temple, the temple priests performed pooja to Swayambhu Sri Lakshminarsimha Swamy in the main temple and sought his permission for the conduct of annual fete at Balalayam as per tradition.
Temple Executive Officer N Geetha also participated in the Rakshabandhan. The brahmotsavams will continue till March 25.
