Nellore: The processional deities of Lord Prasanna Venkateswara Swamy and his consorts were taken out on a chariot at Sri Prasanna Venkates-wara Swamy temple in Appalayagunta, Tirupati.
The imperial parade on the Mada streets to the accompaniment of Bhakti bhajans, kolatas and devotees chanting Govinda, Govinda and dragging the divine Ratham was a cosmic spectacle for the devotees who gathered in large numbers.
