The final and most grand day began early at 6:00 AM with Prabodhana, followed by intense Moolamantra Japa Homams and Nitya Havan starting at 6:30 AM. The sacred moment at 8:34 AM — under Chitta Nakshatra and Vrishabha Lagna Pushkaramsha — marked the commencement of Gartanyasam and Gartapuja.
The central event of the day was the Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy Yantra Murti Pratishtha, along with the Dhwajasthambha, Shikhara, and Boddurayi Pratishtha (consecration of sacred structures). This was followed by the Netronmeelanam (opening of the divine eyes), Drishti Kumbham, and the divine Maha Kumbhabhishekam (grand ritualistic bathing with sanctified water).
The Prathama Aradhana (first ceremonial worship), Shanti Kalyanam (peaceful divine marriage), and concluding parayana marked the spiritual culmination of the multi-day festival. The event was gloriously concluded with Maha Naivedyam, Mangala Shasanam, Shattumurai, and Teertha Prasada Goshti.
At 12:30 PM, a grand Maha Annadanam (mass offering of food) was organized, marking the finale of this divine celebration. Devotees left with hearts full of devotion and memories of sacred bliss.
Yantra Pratishtha (యంత్ర ప్రతిష్ఠ)
Yantra Pratishtha refers to the installation of a sacred geometric diagram (yantra) beneath or within the idol or sanctum. A yantra is considered the spiritual blueprint or energy matrix of the deity. For Sri Sita Ramachandra Swamy, a specific Sri Ram Yantra or a Sri Chakra may be installed, aligning the temple space with cosmic energy. This powerful ritual ensures the idol becomes an active channel for divine presence and blessings, and marks the culmination of all preparatory rituals leading to the Maha Kumbhabhishekam.
