  By the grace of Sri Ranga nayika sametha Sri Ranganatha Perumal, Sri 
Ranganatha Padukas and all the purvacharyas' padukas, the 72nd thirunakshatram 
Srimath Srimushnam Andavan was celebrated yesterday in a grand manner befitting

  Bhagavath Ramanuja, the uthsava murthy of Sri Ramanuja Mission graced the

presiding deities of Sri Ranganatha Temple. Bhagavath Ramanuja was welcomed

bhagavathas who had assembled to be part of celebrations. It was also an 
auspicious day chosen by the temple to perform the prana pratishta of Dwaja 
Sthambha of the temple. Amidst the holy chanting of veda ghosham on this 
occasion, Udaiyavar along with the deities of the temple witnessed Srimath 
Andavan's thirunakshatram being celebrated by the devotees with utmost piety
