Bhadrachalam,being a prominent pilgrim place in Andhra pradesh,getting ready for its "Teppotsavam"o the eve of 23 december.This celebration is done every year from time unknown,some people say it was started in the time of Saint Ramadasa. Nine days Before this celebration are also very important.Ever day Lord vishnumurthy takes one 'avataram' up to ten days.On tenth day ,with last avataram,a special celebration teppotsavam also takes place.All these ten days offer classical dances,musical concerts,harikadha programmes to the devotees.
Because of these concerts on this special occasion, I was fortunate to meet so many musical legends like great sitar maestro pandit Ravishankar (in my school days),Shri.Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna and Shri.Jesudas so on. Teppotsavam means simply a boat riding in the Godavari by Lord Rama and others.This will be done almost 6p.m-8p.m. in the smooth breezing ambience of river Godavari.
The boat also decorated just like a swan.Crackers shed it's booming sound while riding of the boat.Devotees and visitors throng there in great number.One must feel that pleasant moments,no words reveal it perfectly.Anyhow, I will post on 24 Dec., the full details and photos of Teppotsavam.
