***Vaikuntha Ekadasi at Tirupati Balaji Temple***

*****Vaikuntha Ekadasi at Tirupati Balaji Temple*****



Vaikuntha Ekadasi

 is observed at Tirupati BalajiTemple during the Shukla Paksha Ekadasi in Dhanurmasa – the eleventh day during the waxing phase of moon in December – January. In 2017, Vaikuntha Ekadasi at Tirupati Balaji Temple is on January 8. Vaikuntha Dwaram opening time is 4:30 AM on January 8, 2017. The most important ritual on the day is the witnessing of the opening of the door in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple also known as ‘Vaikuntha Dwaram’ or ‘Swargada Bagilu’ (the gate to the heaven). Devotees can pass through this door only on the Vaikuntha Ekadasi day.

Vaikuntha Dwaram as the name indicates is the door to Vaikuntha – abode of Srihari Vishnu. The door is opened only on this day.

The utsava murti of Balaji is taken around the Mada Street on Vahanas on this day along with Sridevi and Bhudevi.

The main ritual on this day is the passing through the Vaikuntha Dwaram. Apart from this devotees observe fast on the entire Ekadasi day.

Devotees consider it highly meritorious to have darshan of Lord Venkateswara on the day.
