Sri Krishna Janmashtami falls on Ashtami thithi, Rohini nakshatram during Shravana masa. Lord Vishnu took form as Krishna to end the sufferings of His devotees on earth. His greatness is spoken of by many great devotees, who have composed many hymns in His praise. Jayadevar’s poetic work, Gita Govindam, is written expressing in Nayaka-Nayaki Bhava which is akin to the relationship between the Jiva and Ishwara, in aspects such as the experience of union and devotion. Here, Krishna is the Paramatman, Radha the Jivatman, and the friend is the Acharya.

Padi Pooja, or the pooja of the Pathinettam Padi, is performed in the evening on certain days at the temple.Padi pooja in the name of the 18 Hill Gods of Lord Ayyappa was conducted after Pushpabhishekam.Thantri performed the ritual in the presence of Melsanthi.The hour-long ritual by decorating the Holy Steps with flowers and silk cloths after lighting traditional lamps on each step, concluded with performing “aarathi” by the thantri.
Pradosham is a very auspicious time when the divine couple, Lord Shiva and Parvati, are said to be in a very propitious and favorable mood, bestowing many blessings and granting wishes of those devotees who with sincere prayer and fasting humbly ask God for both material and spiritual benefits.

Everyone, especially children, should have a chance to see the Sahasra Deepam Alankaram of Lord Venkateswara at least once in their lives. When the lights are turned low, and the dipas glisten, it is both beautiful and mystical.
Lord Venkateshwara, SreeDevi and Bhoo Devi will be seated on the Unjal (Swing) as priests chant vedic hymns and devotees light a thousand diyas around them. All are welcome to participate in preparing the deepams and lighting them.

Every religion uses deepas (lights) in their services. Light symbolizes God. Devotees including children will light the lights, setting them on an auspicious path and burning away their sins.
Upakarma means ‘the beginning.’ After a holy dip in a sacred river or pond or Tritha, people change the sacred thread and wear a new one. Symbolically the ritual means a new beginning.
