About the Shatamanam Bhavati Program

“Shatamanam Bhavati” is a Sanskrit blessing that wishes a person a full life of a hundred years. On SVBC, the Bhakti Channel operated by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams, it is the name of a short program in which devotees’ photographs are displayed on screen on their special day. Families send a picture of the person celebrating a birthday or wedding anniversary, and the program presents it with a blessing invoking Lord Venkateswara.

The appeal is simple and heartfelt: instead of an ordinary greeting, a devotee’s photo appears on a channel dedicated to Sri Venkateswara, accompanied by traditional good wishes. Many families treat it as a way to begin a milestone day on a devotional note. Because SVBC is an official TTD channel, the program is presented respectfully and the submission process is kept straightforward.

How to Send Photos — Step by Step

1. Open the official SVBC website and find the Shatamanam Bhavati (wishes) submission section, which is the authoritative place for current rules and the active contact method.
2. Choose the person and the occasion — for example, a birthday or a wedding anniversary — and confirm the exact date you want the photo to be shown.
3. Prepare a clear, good-quality photograph of the person. Traditional attire is preferred, and a pose offering pranam (namaskaram) to Lord Venkateswara is the customary format for this program.
4. Write the details to include with the photo: the name, the occasion, the date of the celebration, and a short blessing message if requested.
5. Submit the photo and details using the current official SVBC method shown on the program or website — this is typically an online form or an email address that SVBC publishes itself.
6. Send it well ahead of the date so the SVBC team has time to process and schedule it, and keep a copy of what you submitted for your reference.

Submission methods and the exact email or phone number can change over time. To avoid sending your photo to the wrong place, use the current official SVBC contact shown on the program or on the SVBC website rather than any number copied from an old post.

Rules & Photo Format

• Advance notice: Send the photo several days before the celebration date. SVBC states a specific advance period for processing — check the current number of days on the SVBC program or website before you submit.
• Attire and pose: Photographs are generally expected to show the person in traditional dress, often offering pranam to Lord Venkateswara, in keeping with the devotional nature of the channel.
• Image quality: Use a clear, well-lit, front-facing photo. Blurry, dark or heavily edited images may not display well on screen.
• File details: Follow any file-size or format limits stated on the official SVBC form so your upload is accepted.
• Accurate information: Spell names correctly and give the right occasion and date, since the on-screen text is based on what you submit.

Tips for a Smooth Submission

• Prepare early. Sending a few extra days ahead of the minimum window gives room for any delay.
• Double-check the date you want the photo shown — a wrong date is the most common reason a wish appears on the wrong day.
• Keep the message short and respectful; this is a devotional program, not a personal greeting card.
• If you do not see a confirmation, look for any acknowledgement step described by SVBC and follow up only through the official channel.
• Treat unofficial agents or paid “guaranteed slot” offers with caution — the genuine program is presented by SVBC as a free service.
