TIRUMALA, JANUARY 25, 2024: The torrent festival in the auspicious Magha month, Sri Ramakrishna Mukkoti Theertha, was performed with spiritual fervor at the theertham located in the deep forests of the Tirumala hills on Thursday.
Considered to be one of the most important Muktiprada Theerthas among the Sapta Theerthas in the forests of the Seshachalam hills, Sri Ramakrishna Theertham was believed to be named after Sri Ramakrishna Maharshi, who enshrined the idols of Sri Rama and Sri Krishna here. Located in the deep forests of the Seshachala ranges, the Ramakrishna Theertham is almost 8.5 km from the Tirumala temple.
Devotees believe that taking a holy dip in the cool waters of this torrent on the auspicious day of Magha Pournami will bring them salvation. To commemorate the auspicious occasion, a team of temple staff, amidst chanting of Veda mantras by the religious staff, reached Sri Ramakrishna Theertham from Tirumala temple and performed a special Abhishekam to the deities located here and returned to the temple .
The APSRTC had organized bus services from Gogarbham dam to Papa vinashanam for the benefit of the pilgrims. The TTD had provided annaprasadam, tiffins and milk to the devotees.
