‘Varuna Yagam’ performed seeking copious rains in State
It is as part of the nine-day ‘mahayagam’ currently under way on Siddhartha educational group’s Puttur campus in Tirupati district
The sixth day of the nine-day 'Bharatha Vishwaguru Sankalpa Siddhi Mahayagam' saw the performance of 'Varuna Yagam', 'Aruna Parayanam', and 'Surya Yantra Puja' at the Siddhartha educational group's Puttur campus in Tirupati district. K. Ashok Raju, chairman of the Siddhartha group and BJP State vice-president, initiated the 'mahayagam' to seek blessings for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's health and longevity, and to help India become a knowledge superpower, or 'Vishwaguru'.
The heat wave and the arid conditions caused by El Nino impact across the state prompted the 'Varuna Yagam', which was conducted to appease the Rain God and ensure copious rainfall and abundant crops. Following the rituals, a 'Kalyanotsavam' was performed in honor of Lord Srinivasa and His consorts. Notable attendees included Satyavedu MLA Koneti Adimoolam, former Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayanaswamy, and Elite Hospital chairman Koduru Balasubramanyam.
