Sri Swamy Vari Thiru Kalyana Mahotsavam is a grand and divine celestial wedding ceremony of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy with Goddess Lakshmi Devi, celebrated with great devotion and pomp at the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple. This sacred event symbolizes the union of divine energies—Shakti (Lakshmi) and Narasimha (the protector form of Vishnu)—bringing harmony and prosperity to the universe. The ritual is performed in a beautifully decorated mandapam amidst Vedic chants, homams, traditional music, and flower offerings. The deities are adorned in splendid wedding attire and ornaments, and the marriage is conducted by temple priests following strict Agama traditions. Devotees gather in large numbers to witness this sacred union, which is believed to bring blessings of marital bliss, harmony, fertility, and overall well-being. Participating in or sponsoring this Mahotsavam is considered highly auspicious and spiritually uplifting, offering protection and grace from Lord Narasimha for a prosperous and dharmic life.

The Thiru Kalyana Mahotsavam begins with Ganapati puja and Sankalpam, where the devotee’s name, gothram, and purpose of the puja are recited. The beautifully decorated utsava murthis (processional idols) of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy and Goddess Lakshmi are brought to the Kalyana Mandapam, symbolizing the groom and bride. Vedic priests perform Punyahavachanam and Kalasha Sthapana to purify the surroundings. The divine wedding proceeds with rituals like Kanyadaanam, Mangalya Dharanam (tying of the sacred thread), Saptapadi, and Mangala Arati, accompanied by the chanting of Vedic mantras and Divya Prabandham. Sacred items like garlands, turmeric, kumkum, coconut, and mangalsutra are offered during the ceremony. Devotees often participate by offering garlands and witnessing the ritual. The wedding concludes with Theertham, Prasadam, and Harati. Performing or witnessing this divine wedding is believed to bless devotees with marital harmony, prosperity, and divine protection from Lord Narasimha and Goddess Lakshmi.
