I had the good fortune to witness the the Kalyana Utsavam (marriage ceremony) of Tirumala Tirupati Sri Balaji with his consorts (Goddess Sridevi and Bhudevi) at Shanmukhananda Hall, King’s Circle.
The celestial wedding is performed daily in the Tirupati temple and devotees throng to be a part of the celebration.Usually, devotees are waitlisted for years when the ceremony is performed at Tirupati.It is for the first time in Mumbai that the idols were brought from Tirupati and the ceremony was performed here.
One of the singers at the function sang Adi Shankaracharya’s Bhaja Govindam.I simply marvel at the genius of this bhajan immortalized by the voice of M S Subbulakshmi
