The monthly Pournami Garuda Seva stands canceled on December 26 following Adhyayanotsavams in Tirumala temple.
The 25-day Adhyayanotsavams will conclude on January 5. Among the Astadasa Puranas, the significance of the birth of Goddess Padmavathi is mentioned in Padma Purana penned by Maharishi Veda Vyasa. After the episode of Sage Bhrigu hitting Lord Maha Vishnu in his chest which is the place of Goddess Mahalakshmi which leads to the separation of Lord from Goddess, the Lord begins the search for His lady love.
In this process, he happens to meet Sri Padmavathi Devi, the beautiful daughter of Akasa Raja.
On a fine day a divine voice from the sky tells Lord to do the penance by bringing water and offer gold lotuses to appease Padmavathi.
Lord reaches the bank of Swarnamukhi and digs a pond with a weapon called Kuntalam. And instructed Indra Deva to bring gold lotuses.
Later the Lord has constructed Sri Surya Narayanaswamy temple on the banks of Padma Pushkarini and did penance for 12 years and offered golden lotuses everyday to appease Padmavathi. And later succeeded in marrying Her.
