SRI MAHAVISHNU'S DESCENT

" Yea, yea his anxiety is to see Balaji seems enkindled and he may likely run to the temple instantly leaving us here."

Exactly so, let us hurry up to the sanctum right now"

Grand reaction! But you must know Master Benarji that you will be pushed on and dragged out by scores of well attired temple staff without allowing your looking at it a minute even leisurely. Your scanning the whole archamurthi must be done in a split second. So listen carefully to the items you have to observe from head to foot of that Divyamangalarupa Balaji Vigrah."

" Timely caution sir, as my friend informed that in a fleeting second we have to feast our eyes with that exquisitely adorned image with colourful long garlands and dazzling jewels."

" Why such hurry please."

" Good question! like us there are nearly 30,000 pilgrims on an average a day moving in a long serpentine queue after waiting in the queue complex for 10 to 14 hours minimum, to entering into the inner most part called Sayana Mandapa, the point from which we have to avail the darsan. Mark it! even the special ticket holders too are treated alike, both during festival days and ordinary too."

" Then tell us uncle the items to be observed intently?"

" Of the special features to be the observed one should not miss noticing the position of hands, adornment of chest together with the white mark on the chin."
