Melkote Punarvasu Utsav

It falls in the month of January-February. That day was the day when Ramanujacharya renovated the Melkote. In the morning, the abhisheka to Ramanuja, the kalyani (Tonnuru utsav) festival, where the prose parayana was followed by a flower offering to the acharyas in front of the house of vangipuram nambis. As soon as he was in, he was honoured to serve the Acharyas from mahamangalarati.

On the day of the Punarvasu Star this month, Ramanujacharya discovered and rejuvenated the Narayana murti in the Melkote area. In memory of this, a festival is celebrated every year in Melkote where Ramanujacharya is the real puja of Punarvasu Star.
