TIRUMALA, 10 OCTOBER 2021: After the garlands made of colourful flowers and dry fruits received the blessings of Srivaru on the first day of Snapanam, it was the turn of the “Spicy” garlands that got the divine opportunity to deck the “Alankara Priya” on Sunday.
Snapanam (also called the Utsavananthara Snapanam) is the process of bathing the Lord with herbal water after the procession. It is believed to relieve the strain the Lord has undergone during the procession.

These artistic garlands were designed out of the donation by Tiruppur based devotee Sri Rajender.
