About Sahasra Kalasabhishekam?
Sahasra means “thousand” and kalasha means “vessel”. Sahasra Kalasabhishekam means 1008 silver vessels along with eight more parivara vessels and one Golden Vessel filled with Abhisheka Teertham also known as “Parimala Theertham” – pure water with sandal paste Aroma are used for abhishekam to Sri Bhoga Srinivasa Murthy. This sacred ritual is observed every Wednesday after the second bell in the morning at the Bangaru Vakili to the processional deities of Sri Malayappa Swamy varu along with his two consorts, Sri Vishwaksena- the chief commander of Lord. All the silver idols are decorated and brought outside the Bangaru Vakili where a curtain is placed Bhoga Srinivas Murthy and the Mula Virat inside the Garbhalayam. One priest will carry the water from the Golden Vessel to Dwajasthambam. Then the water is sprinkled on the Feet of the Lord Venkateswara. Since this Seva is performed in Ekanta Seva, the curtains are lifted at the end so the pilgrims can see the deity.
